The U.S. Department of Justice has seized a cloud computing account used by Cambodia's Huione Group, accused of laundering billions in cryptocurrency scam proceeds. This action is part of "Operation Torrent," targeting Huione's role in facilitating the movement and concealment of illicit funds through Southeast Asian scam centers. The U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network had previously designated Huione as a primary money laundering concern. Huione subsidiaries are suspected of aiding criminals in transferring funds from investment fraud, cyber theft, and other illegal blockchain activities into legitimate banking systems, with significant links to North Korea. The group had also advertised illicit services on its Telegram channel. Under financial pressure, Huione launched the stablecoin USDH and developed its own decentralized exchange, wallet, and blockchain, known as the "Huione Chain" (Xone).
