Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned the Korea Sobaeksu Trading Company and three associated individuals—Kim Se Un, Jo Kyong Hun, and Myong Chol Min—for their involvement in the evasion of U.S. and United Nations (UN) sanctions and efforts to generate revenue clandestinely for the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) government, including through fraudulent information technology (IT) worker schemes. This action to counter the DPRK’s wide-ranging revenue generation schemes is part of a collaborative effort with the Departments of Justice, Homeland Security, and State; the Federal Bureau of Investigation; and Homeland Security Investigations. Jo Kyong Hun is a North Korea-based Sobaeksu IT team leader who has worked with Kim Se Un on cryptocurrency and other financial issues related to revenue generation for IT projects. OFAC is designating Jo Kyong Hun pursuant to E.O. 13382 for having provided, or attempted to provide, financial, material, technological, or other support for, or goods or services in support of, Sobaeksu, a person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to E.O. 13382.
