PANews reported on April 3 that according to Decrypt, the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) announced that it had added eight Tron wallet addresses associated with the Yemeni Houthi armed forces to its list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (SDN), accusing them of participating in illegal financial activities through Tether (USDT). The Treasury Department said that the network was controlled by Sa'id al-Jamal, a senior Houthi financial official based in Iran, and involved the purchase of sensitive commodities such as Russian weapons and stolen Ukrainian grain, and shipped them to Houthi-controlled areas. Sa'id al-Jamal has been listed as a specially designated terrorist worldwide since 2021. These wallets have been active since 2023 and frequently use USDT, with some transactions amounting to $1 million.
