anchored·4ngDBo…PXo7Summary
Nguyen Quang Viet is a Vietnamese national and CEO of Quangvietdnbg International Services Company Limited who was designated by the U.S. Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) on March 12, 2026, for allegedly facilitating cryptocurrency conversion services that laundered proceeds of a North Korean (DPRK) overseas IT-worker fraud scheme. Treasury alleges Nguyen converted approximately $2.5 million into cryptocurrency between mid-2023 and mid-2025 for North Koreans, including illicit earnings tied to DPRK entity Amnokgang Technology Development Company, as part of a wider network Treasury said helped generate roughly $800 million in 2024 for North Korea's weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missile programs. Both Nguyen and his company are listed on the OFAC Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list, and Vietnamese authorities reportedly revoked the company's business license shortly after the designation.
