SANCTIONS UPDATE: On September 10, 2020, four individuals were added to OFAC’s SDN List for attempting to influence the US electoral process. Three of the designated individuals were linked to supporting the cryptocurrency accounts of the Internet Research Agency (IRA)—a Russian “troll farm” tied to influence operations abroad on behalf of Russian political interests. According to OFAC, “the IRA uses cryptocurrency to fund activities in furtherance of their ongoing malign influence operations around the world.” These designations include BTC, LTC, ZEC, and BSV addresses.

The IRA was first designated by OFAC in March 2018 for having created and managed a vast number of fake online personas that posed as legitimate US persons on social media in order to post and share thousands of online advertisements that reached millions of people. Their repertoire of online personas included grassroots organizations, interest groups, and even a state political party.
