Designated persons' U.S. assets frozen
When someone is added to OFAC's Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) List, all their property and interests in property that are under U.S. jurisdiction are blocked. That means their money and property in the United States are frozen.
U.S. persons barred from dealing with designees
If a person is on OFAC's SDN List, U.S. persons are generally prohibited from doing business with them. That means Americans and U.S. businesses should not engage in transactions with those listed people, and transactions may be blocked, effective immediately.
