Treasury sanctions eight North Koreans and two Russians over alleged IT-worker schemes

Treasury sanctioned eight North Koreans, two Russians and a North Korean-controlled center in Russia over alleged IT-worker schemes. Treasury says workers use false identities to get hired and the regime takes most wages; its hundreds-of-millions revenue estimate covers the broader schemes. The sanctions block designated persons' property interests in the U.S. or held by U.S. persons. Unless authorized or exempt, transactions involving those interests are generally prohibited for U.S. persons or within the U.S.
