Macao-based Banco Delta Asia (BDA) which Washington says has helped North Korean officials accept "surreptitious" multimillion-dollar deposits and withdrawals, has temporarily halted its business with North Korea, state media reported, citing Stanley Au, chairman of BDA's parent company, the Delta Asia Financial Group, who told reporters that the move was part of an effort "to resolve the dispute with the United States Department of Treasury". Edmund Ho, the chief executive of Macao, has appointed two officials to help run BDA after a rash of customer withdrawals.
