美國國庫制裁Behrouz Parsarad，現已停產的Nemesis Darknet Marketplace的運營商

美國財政部已對伊朗民族貝魯茲·帕薩拉德（Behrouz Parsarad）實施了製裁，該國民被指控管理現已停產的剋星Darknet市場。

The US Department of the Treasury has imposed sanctions on Behrouz Parsarad, an Iranian national accused of managing the now-defunct Nemesis darknet marketplace.

美國財政部已對伊朗民族貝魯茲·帕薩拉德（Behrouz Parsarad）實施了製裁，該國民被指控管理現已停產的剋星Darknet市場。

As part of the action, authorities have also blacklisted 49 Bitcoin (BTC) and Monero (XMR) addresses linked to him.

作為行動的一部分，當局還將49個比特幣（BTC）和Monero（XMR）地址列入了與他相關的地址。

The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) announced the sanctions on March 4, adding that the move follows an international operation to dismantle Nemesis earlier in 2024.

外國資產控制辦公室（OFAC）於3月4日宣布了製裁，並補充說，此舉是在2024年早些時候拆除剋星的國際行動之後進行的。

The sanction against Parsarad is part of OFAC’s broader efforts to dismantle illicit online marketplaces. Notably, the agency previously sanctioned Hydra Market in April 2022, with German authorities later confiscating approximately €23 million (about $25 million) worth of Bitcoin (BTC) from the platform.

對Parsarad的製裁是OFAC拆除非法在線市場的更廣泛努力的一部分。值得注意的是，該機構此前於2022年4月批准了Hydra市場，德國當局後來從該平台沒收了約2300萬歐元（約2500萬美元）的比特幣（BTC）。

Earlier in 2024, British police announced the shutdown of Nemesis and the arrest of its administrator. The platform was used by a wide range of criminals, from drug traffickers to cybercriminals, to sell their wares and services.

2024年早些時候，英國警察宣布關閉仇敵及其行政人員的逮捕。從販毒者到網絡犯罪分子，眾多罪犯使用該平台來出售其商品和服務。

According to OFAC, Parsarad profited from Nemesis by charging users transaction fees, and is said to have personally amassed millions from the marketplace over its lifespan.

根據OFAC的說法，帕薩拉德（Parsarad）通過向用戶收取交易費用從剋星（Nemesis）獲利，據說在其壽命中親自從市場上積累了數百萬美元。

The report adds that Nemesis was a hub for cybercriminals and drug traffickers to sell their wares and services. It is said that the platform’s stipendium had built-in money laundering features to allow users to conceal their financial activities.

該報告補充說，剋星是網絡犯罪分子和毒品販子出售其商品和服務的樞紐。據說該平台的款項具有內置的洗錢功能，以允許用戶隱藏其財務活動。

In total, authorities estimate that between 2021 and 2024, Nemesis facilitated over $30 million in drug sales. The marketplace also sold a range of other illegal services, including forged identification documents and professional hacking services. Users could also hire hackers to compromise online accounts and steal sensitive data.

總體而言，當局估計，在2021年至2024年之間，剋星促進了超過3000萬美元的毒品銷售。市場還出售了一系列其他非法服務，包括偽造的身份證和專業黑客服務。用戶還可以僱用黑客來妥協在線帳戶並竊取敏感數據。

Despite Nemesis’ shutdown, reports suggest that Parsarad has already begun discussing launching a new darknet marketplace with vendors at an earlier stage of the crackdown.

儘管Nemesis關閉了，但報告表明，Parsarad已經開始在鎮壓階段與供應商討論與供應商推出新的Darknet市場。

Parasad’s on-chain activity

Parasad的鏈活動

A recent blockchain investigation by Chainalysis revealed that Parsarad funnelled over $12,000 to other known darknet marketplaces, including ASAP, Incognito and Next Generation.

最近對鏈分析的區塊鏈調查表明，帕薩拉德（Parsarad）向其他已知的Darknet市場（包括ASAP，Incognito和Next Generation）匯入了超過12,000美元的$ 12,000。

The crypto analytics firm also noted that his Bitcoin wallets received more than $850,000 from addresses linked to illicit transactions.

這家加密分析公司還指出，他的比特幣錢包從與非法交易有關的地址獲得了超過85萬美元。

Meanwhile, on-chain records from blockchain analytics firm BeHaViR show that he moved over $1.6 million in crypto, with analysts suggesting that he might have been leveraging Bitcoin’s price fluctuations to grow his bitcoin holdings.

同時，區塊鏈分析公司行為的鍊鍊記錄表明，他在加密貨幣的160萬美元中提出了超過160萬美元的收入，分析師表明他可能正在利用比特幣的價格波動來增加他的比特幣持有量。

Chainalysis furthered that Parsarad had no direct on-chain links to Iranian financial services but had significant exposure to darknet marketplaces and indirect connections to crypto mixers.

鏈分析進一步說，帕薩拉德沒有與伊朗金融服務的直接鏈接聯繫，但在DarkNet市場上有很大的曝光，並與加密貨幣攪拌機的間接聯繫。

According to the firm, the Iranian national deliberately obscured his illicit activities to avoid detection. This is because Iran enforces strict penalties for drug-related offenses, which can even reach the death penalty in extreme cases.

據該公司稱，伊朗民族故意掩蓋了他的非法活動，以避免發現。這是因為伊朗對與毒品有關的罪行施加嚴格的處罰，在極端案件中，甚至可以予以死刑。
