Sanction violations are something the feds take extremely seriously.

This is just FUD.

While it's true, the level you would have to be at to have to worry about sanctions puts you into "too big to fail" territory.

The point of the above posts though is that Virgil Griffith is probably going to prison because he wasn't paying attention to sanctions though? Or, the case of Meng Wanzhou who is a Chinese citizen who avoided connecting flights through the US and was arrested in Canada anyway for violating trade sanctions with Iran?

That's a problem and likely isn't going to go away unless something big happens with the political system, like maybe a third party taking over.

Not surprising knowing Meng Wanzhou is daughter of a Huawei founder.
