The United States Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has taken decisive action against Ekaterina Zhdanova, a Russian national, for her significant role in laundering and transferring funds using virtual currency on behalf of Russian elites and ransomware actors, including the notorious Ryuk gang.
This move is part of the U.S. government’s continued efforts to crack down on sanctions evasion and prevent the misuse of virtual currency by individuals and entities seeking to circumvent international sanctions.
