Read the full press release here. The move places Heng Feng Cambodia Bank plc under international scrutiny and could create significant challenges for the bank’s operations, access to correspondent banking, and ability to maintain confidence among customers and counterparties. According to the U.S. Treasury statement, the bank was designated for allegedly being owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by Sai Aung Linn, who was also sanctioned. Treasury said Sai Aung Linn had served as a director, shareholder, former chairman, and member of the board risk and audit committees of the bank. What The Sanction Means Being placed on the U.S. sanctions list means all property and interests in property of the designated bank that are in the United States, or in the possession of U.S. persons, must be blocked. U.S. individuals and companies are generally prohibited from dealing with sanctioned entities unless specifically authorized.
