The Treasury stated that the network is operated by Sa'id al-Jamal, a senior financial official of the Houthis based in Iran, and is involved in the procurement of sensitive goods such as Russian weapons and stolen grain from Ukraine, which are transported to Houthi-controlled areas. Sa'id al-Jamal has been designated as a global specially designated terrorist since 2021. These wallets have been active since 2023, frequently using USDT, with some transaction amounts reaching 1 million dollars.
