Nemesis Admin and 49 Crypto Addresses Targeted by OFAC Sanctions Following Takedown

The U.S. Treasury sanctioned Behrouz Parsarad and 49 cryptocurrency addresses linked to the dismantled Nemesis darknet marketplace, which facilitated illicit trade in narcotics and cybercrime tools.

Parsarad, identified as the platform’s architect, allegedly profited from transaction fees. Following a global law enforcement operation that shut down Nemesis, the Treasury took action to disrupt Parsarad’s financial activities and prevent the resurgence of similar platforms, emphasizing their commitment to combating digitally enabled criminal networks and the opioid crisis.
