Assets of Designated People Frozen
OFAC added one or more people to the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (SDN List). All property and interests in property subject to U.S. jurisdiction of these listed persons are blocked, which means their money and property in the U.S. are frozen.
U.S. Persons Barred From Dealing
U.S. persons are generally prohibited from engaging in transactions with anyone on OFAC's SDN List. That means Americans and U.S. businesses must not do business with these blocked individuals.
