The U.S. Department of Justice has unsealed an indictment charging 10 individuals with conspiring to evade sanctions on Venezuela's state-owned oil company, PDVSA. This legal action highlights ongoing concerns about the use of cryptocurrencies, such as Tether (USDT), to bypass international sanctions. Reports indicate that Venezuela has been experimenting with USDT to circumvent these restrictions, raising alarms about potential misuse for sanction evasion purposes.
