Every company OFAC has fined for US-sanctions-program violations since 2003 — 1,047 settlements totaling $7.65 billion. Distinct from the OFAC SDN watchlist (already in this catalog): this is the post-violation enforcement that names companies which actually paid penalties for moving money for sanctioned regimes, exporting to embargoed countries, or violating cyber/narcotics sanctions. Top settlements: Binance $969M, BNP Paribas $964M, Standard Chartered $657M, ING Bank $619M, UniCredit $611M, Credit Suisse $536M, British American Tobacco $509M, HSBC $375M.
