Dismantling Prince Group Transnational Criminal Organization and Huione Group
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. For more information about today's actions, please see the Department of the Treasury's press release.
