You place them on the OFAC list? Just like sanctioning any other individual .

If he has any money in American banks it's going to be a pain in his arse. His assets will be frozen.

Didn't the US personally sanction Putin? I know they threatened to.

Taking this at face value, what's the factual basis?

If I was a drug kingpin, U.S. Banks or any other seizable account would be a great place to keep my money.

More than just that, anyone who has money in American banks (it's more than just that but for the sake of simplicity) can't transact with him...

El Aissami is well known for this stuff. It isn't anything new. Whenever people talk about narco-terror ties, his is usually one of the first names to come up.

Subsidiaries, off shore accounts, and lots more laundering vehicles are basically off in all but a few countries now. The long arm of the U.S. federal government is about to put a finger up his butthole. He is fricked unless he has everything in cash in Venezuela (not a good proposition considering their currency).

The freezing point of gold is about 1500 degrees F.

I'm betting that much of his assets are already frozen.

Don't think the goal is to teach him.....but it sounds like they are going to try to seize any American assets that he has. That could be substantially painful for him.
