Summary
The U.S. Treasury’s OFAC just added some people and ships to a special blacklist because they broke important rules. This means any money or property they have in the U.S. is frozen, and Americans can’t do business with them. If you’re involved, watch out—these changes take effect right away and could impact money and deals fast!

U.S. Persons Barred from Transactions with SDNs
