OFAC sanctions two Russians for virtual currency theft

Yesterday, in a coordinated action with the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security, OFAC sanctioned two Russian nationals for their involvement in a sophisticated phishing campaign in 2017 and 2018 that targeted customers of two U.S.-based and one foreign-based virtual asset service providers. American citizens and businesses were among the victims of this malicious cyber-enabled activity, which resulted in combined losses of at least $16.8 million.

Danil Potekhin and Dmitrii Karasavidi were designated pursuant to Executive Order 13694, as amended by E.O. 13757, which targets malicious cyber-enabled activities, including those related to the significant misappropriation of funds or personal identifiers for private financial gain. Potekhin and Karasavidi are also the subjects of an indictment unsealed today by the Department of Justice.

As a result of yesterday’s action, all property and interests in property of the designated persons that are in the possession or control of U.S. persons or within or transiting the United States are blocked, and U.S. persons generally are prohibited from dealing with them. for further identification information on Potekhin and Karasavidi, see BankersOnline's OFAC Update.
