Chinese Bank Barred by FinCEN
FinCEN took action against Bank of Dandong, a Chinese bank that acts as a conduit for illicit North Korean financial activity. Bank of Dandong is barred from the U.S. financial system with FinCEN issuing an advisory to further alert financial institutions to schemes commonly used by North Korea to evade U.S. and United Nations (UN) sanctions, launder funds, and finance the North Korean regime’s weapons programs.
