The U.S. Sanctions Myanmar’s Karen National Army for Crypto Scams

The U.S. Treasury Department has sanctioned Myanmar’s Karen National Army for facilitating crypto scams that harm U.S. citizens, as announced on May 5, 2025.

These sanctions are significant due to their impact on transnational criminal activity involving cryptocurrency, increasing compliance pressures on exchanges.

The U.S. Treasury Department, through its Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), sanctioned the Karen National Army (KNA) in response to its role in facilitating cyber scams. These scams, particularly romance and crypto schemes, resulted in substantial losses to U.S. citizens.

The sanctions target KNA leadership, including Saw Chit Thu and his sons. The asset freeze extends to related entities, curtailing their financial operations globally. Restrictions on transactions impede access to compliant crypto exchanges.

“Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control sanctioned the Karen National Army (KNA) … for their role in facilitating cyber scams that harm U.S. citizens, human trafficking, and cross-border smuggling.” — U.S. Department of the Treasury

These actions emphasize the Treasury’s commitment to combating cybercrime. The sanctions disrupt operations in Myanmar, hindering the KNA’s financial capabilities and involvement in cross-border smuggling activities.

The crypto market remains calm despite these sanctions, pending further assessments. History shows sanctions like Tornado Cash led to increased regulator scrutiny, potentially affecting exchange compliance dynamics.

The KNA’s activities remind the sector of ongoing vulnerabilities, highlighting the importance of regulatory frameworks. As sanctions ensue, it is prudent for firms and exchanges to align operations with tightened compliance mandates to avoid repercussions on their global operations.
