EMBARGOED!: Dawn of a New Era for U.S. Sanctions?

EMBARGOED! Podcast

Brian and Tim kick things off by dissecting the results of The Treasury 2021 Sanctions Review, which charts a (somewhat) new path for OFAC-administered sanctions. We debate what it all means and where things could be headed in the future. Next, we focus on OFAC's latest guidance for the virtual currency industry and how that ties together with DOJ's announcement of a new National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team and redoubled efforts to investigate and prosecute export controls and sanctions violations. We then move to China to consider the messy circumstances surrounding ZTE's court-appointed monitor and an even messier foreign policy situation currently brewing between the U.S. and China over Taiwan. Finally, in the Lightning Round, we share quick thoughts on the extradition of Alex Saab and the impact on the Maduro regime before turning to JCPOA 2.0 to ponder whether the door to a deal is just about closed.
