Virtual Currency Mixer Sindbad Sanctioned by OFAC for Laundering Activities Linked to DPRK’s Lazarus Group
The U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has taken decisive action against Sinbad.io, a virtual currency mixer, for its role in laundering millions of dollars from cyber heists conducted by the notorious Lazarus Group, a cyber hacking group backed by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK). Sinbad has been a crucial tool for laundering proceeds from high-profile heists such as those on Horizon Bridge and Axie Infinity.
