    • Gender: Male
    • Party Type: Individual

He is a former manager of Nan Tian International Hotel Co Ltd (a.k.a. Nan Hai) and, together with Sai Aung Linn, co-owns Xihu Resort Hotel Co Ltd and Heng Feng Group Co Ltd. Gambling companies operating within Xihu have been associated with money laundering linked to organized crime and human trafficking for cyber scams. Properties connected to these companies have reportedly also been the sites of unlawful detentions, beatings, and deaths.

    KOK, An

    • Address: 19 Group 62 Street 217, Veal Vong Quarter, Makara District, Phnom Penh, Cambodia
    • DOB: 07 Jul 1954
    • POB: Koh Kong, Cambodia
    • Nationality: Cambodia
    • Gender: Male
    • Passport: N00307450 (Cambodia) expires 15 Sep 2025
    • National ID No.: 010283555 (Cambodia)
    • Party Type: Individual

    Supplemental Information: Kok An is a Cambodian senator and businessman who owns numerous companies and properties throughout Cambodia that house scam centers, through which his network has stolen millions of dollars from U.S. victims operating under the protection of his political connections. His flagship hospitality company, Crown Resorts, owns casinos, resorts, and other buildings in Poipet, Sihanoukville, Bavet, Pailin, and other Cambodian cities that have been converted into compounds from which criminal organizations conduct digital asset investment fraud and other scams. These fraudsters use the lure of friendship or romance to coax vulnerable Americans into transferring their savings in the form of digital assets to fake investment platforms, only to steal the funds outright. In some cases, individuals perpetrating the scams are themselves victims of human trafficking, forced to commit unlawful acts under threat of violence, including physical abuse; scam managers impose quotas and subject those who fail to meet them to physical violence. Kok An collects rental income from compound occupants and provides uniformed security guards through his conglomerate Anco Brothers Co Ltd, which also holds casino licenses for the properties. Nearly all major scam compounds in Cambodia are connected to casinos, which serve to launder scam proceeds. This designation was taken in coordination with the Scam Center Strike Force, an initiative of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, DOJ Criminal Division, FBI, and U.S. Secret Service.

He obtained Cambodian citizenship after making large investments in the country, including through Huan Hai Bo Lai International Investment Co Ltd and SSDD Construction Material Co Ltd.

    The State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) has amended the list of sanctioned natural persons, undertakings and organizations of the Regulation of 21. March 2025 on measures against persons and organizations associated with the Taliban (SR 946.231.07).

    By decision of 13. In April 2026, the responsible UN Sanctions Committee changed the list of persons, companies and organizations sanctioned in this context. The amendment is directly applicable in Switzerland. SECO has therefore on 14. April 2026, the sanctions database SESAM (SECO Sanctions Management), which is relevant for Switzerland, was adapted and the adjustment was published on its website.


    In accordance with the provisions of the Regulation, financial intermediaries are required to implement the prohibitions, to block the assets of the sanctioned persons and to report the business relationships concerned to SECO. The report to SECO does not relieve a financial intermediary from making additional clarifications in the event of suspicion in accordance with Art. 6 GwG and, if he cannot clear them, to report it immediately to the notification office for money laundering in accordance with Art. 9 GwG.

  • April 15, 2026: Economic Fury from the State Department

    U.S. Upends Iranian Shadow Fleet and Oil-for-Gold Terror Financing Network

    PRESS STATEMENT

    THOMAS “TOMMY” PIGOTT, PRINCIPAL DEPUTY SPOKESPERSON

    APRIL 15, 2026

    The United States is acting to decisively limit Iran’s ability to generate revenue as it attempts to hold the Strait of Hormuz hostage. Today’s sanctions target elements of U.S.-designated Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani’s multi-billion-dollar oil smuggling empire that enriches the Iranian regime and its elites. It also targets a separate oil-for-gold network that finances U.S.-designated Hizballah and the U.S.-designated Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp-Qods Force (IRGC-QF).

    The Iranian regime continues to enrich corrupt elites like the Shamkhani family while ordinary Iranians suffer under a deteriorating economy. The regime likewise funnels the wealth of the Iranian people to Hizballah and other terrorists in the Middle East. These designations underscore our commitment to maximum pressure on Iran and its terrorist proxies.

    The complex schemes involving illicit Iranian oil, gold, and terrorist financing demonstrate the lengths to which Iran and its partners will go to evade sanctions and fund malign activities. We will continue to expose and disrupt these networks.

    Since President Trump issued National Security Presidential Memorandum 2, the United States has sanctioned over 1,000 persons, vessels, and aircraft as part of our campaign against Iranian malign activity. We will not relent in our efforts to deny Iran and its proxies the resources they use to threaten U.S. interests and regional stability.

    Today’s action marks the latest round of sanctions targeting Iranian oil sales and support to Iran’s terrorist proxies since the issuance of National Security Presidential Memorandum 2 (NSPM-2), directing maximum pressure on Iran and its regional proxies. More information on today’s designations can be found in Treasury’s Press Release
