And this is so rampant that the #US #TreasuryDept had to issue an #FAQ statement [ https://ofac.treasury.gov/faqs/1078 ] following the #sanction of #TornadoCash [ https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy0916 ]...

Basically the digital equivalent of forcing you to swallow blood diamonds wrapped in North Korean Won bills and then being sent through an X-Ray...

@anirvan it's intentional and it's one of those arsenine things about the #USA:

Ain't #OFAC and #Sanctions the responsibility of #Federal institutions like #StateDept & #TreasuryDept?

Cuz that's just pushing inherent #racism and it's also ignoring the fact that some people may be #refugees or otherwise law-abiding citizens but since they can't renouce their citizenship [i.e. #Iran doesn't allow that - period!] they'll face that issue.
