The United States is sanctioning nine individuals
and 26 entities linked to the Cambodia-based Prince Group
Transnational Criminal Organization (TCO) and its
leadership. This action follows the October 2025 financial
sanctions designating the Prince Group TCO and 146
individuals and entities linked to the Prince Group. In
addition, the United States is proposing to amend a
rulemaking under section 311 of the USA PATRIOT Act
applicable to Huione Group to prohibit U.S. dollar accounts
for H-Pay Service PLC and any successor entities of Huione
Group.
Prince Group TCO members own and profit from
scam compounds that target victims in the United States and
around the world. Scam actors, including criminals linked to
DPRK, have used the Huione Group, including Huione Pay and
H-Pay, to transfer and launder assets from scams. The United
States remains committed to protecting the American people
from cybercrime, fraud, and predatory schemes perpetrated by
insidious criminal networks.
Today’s actions were
taken in furtherance of Executive Order (E.O.) 14390
“Combating Cybercrime, Fraud, and Predatory Schemes
Against American Citizens” and pursuant to E.O. 13581
“Blocking Property of Transnational Criminal
Organizations,” as amended by E.O.
13863.
