So, when OFSI sends out a sanctions notice, they provide a link to the underlying document – it’s a little black box that says “click here”.

Well, last week, they used one notice to update both the Belarus and Syria programs – but only had one little black box (for Belarus). I wrote back to HM Treasury and did not hear back.

Well, it happened again today. And, in looking at the email, I see what they did… they included the 2nd link in the text – here’s today’s:

Further, 1 individual has been amended in the Syria financial sanctions regime. The notice can be found here.

OFSI Notices – Belarus, Syria

So, Payoneer apparently violated a number of programs by processing 2,241 payments for parties in Iran, Sudan, Syria and Crimea… and another payments on behalf of parties on the SDN List. The value of the transactions? Less than the fine – only $802,117.36. Why? Because those 2241 violations were not voluntarily self-disclosed (although they were all non-egregious).

The why is a who’s-who of previous enforcement actions – see if you can remember who else had similar issues:

Now, that $1,400,301.40? It represents a big discount from the base penalty of $3,889,726. Here’s how OFAC looked at the matter:

Did you notice that they replaced their Chief Compliance Officer? I think I’d like to see the Settlement Agreement – something tells me there is something more to the story such that OFAC would mention that in the Enforcement Information…. Just saying.

And OFAC’s lesson to learn here? Not so interesting, but here it is:

Data files of updates – PDF, XML

Note: Notice that Wednesday’s OFAC release included an updated Venezuela General License, not a Syria one. That’s because the exemptions of the “general license” are housed in the updated Syrian Sanctions Regulations, not in a standalone General License document. It’s a good thing to note: from time to time, GLs may get pulled into the regulatory text, and disappear as separate documents. To fully understand the available exemptions, you need to bone up on both.
