People often place blame on the most vulnerable, which raises questions about accountability. A recent move by the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) brought this issue into focus when it froze about $344 million in $USDT. According to authorities, two wallets linked to illicit activity held the funds. Given the geopolitical tensions at the time, attention quickly shifted to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as the main suspect. However, NOMINIS CEO Snir Levi analyzed these wallets and compared their behavior with previously confirmed IRGC-linked crypto activity.
