The U.S. Treasury has sanctioned Philippine firm Funnull and its administrator, Liu Lizhi, for their involvement in a $200 million crypto scam network.
Funnull allegedly provided IP addresses to cybercriminals through international cloud providers, aiding in the operation of fraudulent platforms and hosting malicious online content.
The company has been linked to more scam-related websites than any other entity reported to the FBI, with victims experiencing average losses of $150,000 per person.
The sanctions freeze U.S.-based assets related to Funnull and prohibit transactions with them, part of a broader U.S. effort to combat cyber fraud and uphold the integrity of digital finance.
