The U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has imposed sanctions on the Karen National Army (KNA), a transnational criminal organization operating along the Thai-Burmese border. The KNA is accused of involvement in cyber crimes and human trafficking, marking a significant escalation in efforts to combat illicit financial networks in Southeast Asia.
This action follows FinCEN’s recent designation of Cambodia-based Huione Group as a primary money laundering concern. The group allegedly facilitated funds tied to North Korean cyber thefts and regional ’pig butchering’ scams. The coordinated crackdown highlights growing regulatory scrutiny on cross-border financial crimes.
