    OFAC sanctions Xinbi Guarantee and supporting entities

    Legal Policy Action Update

    The US Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control sanctioned Xinbi Guarantee, a Chinese-language marketplace tied to fraud, money laundering, stolen personal data, fake identity documents, AI deepfake tools, and scam-center operators in Southeast Asia and elsewhere. The Treasury also sanctioned Singapore-based SafeW Technology and Cambodia-headquartered Anwen Technology, which produces the XinbiPay digital wallet app, while Elliptic and the US Secret Service said they identified and froze $52.8m in cryptoassets linked to Xinbi Guarantee; Elliptic also said the marketplace now appears to be offline after Telegram deleted associated main channels and banned linked usernames.
