US sanctions crypto addresses linked to Nemesis darknet marketplace

The US Office of Foreign Assets Control says the marketplace created by Iran-based Behrouz Parsarad facilitated the sale of drugs, fake IDs and hacking resources.

US authorities have sanctioned the operator of a shuttered online darknet marketplace, including his crypto addresses, which recently profited from Bitcoin price fluctuations. 

Iran-based Behrouz Parsarad established the darknet marketplace Nemesis in 2021 and used it to facilitate the sale of drugs, false identification documents, professional hacking resources, and a variety of other illicit services for cybercriminals, the US Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) said in a March 4 statement. 

Under the sanctions, US citizens are now blocked from dealing with Parsarad and any companies where he owns more than a 50% stake.
