Summary
The U.S. Treasury’s OFAC just added some people to a special blacklist because they broke important rules.

Assets in U.S. Are Frozen

U.S. Persons Barred From Transactions
U.S. persons are generally prohibited from engaging in transactions with the people added to the SDN List. If you are a U.S. person, you cannot generally do business or complete financial transactions with those listed individuals or entities.
