If you read through LinkedIn or Bluesky auto-posting, you will not have noticed 2 recent changes to existing posts:

• The post announcing the UN’s new DRC listings was updated to also include Canada’s adoption of the changes the same day
• And the post that carried the US State Department about the FTO and SDGT designations of La Viagras and the Juarez Cartel mistakenly said it preceded changes by OFAC. In this case, on Wednesday at about 11:20 AM, OFAC did update those two designations, although the title of the Recent Actions post did not say that designations were being updated (yes, technically, an existing ILLICIT DRUGS E.O. was added to the FTO and SDGT programs making them “new” designations). And the State Department notice came out over 25 hours later, at about 12:30 PM yesterday (all times Eastern). My friend Yoshi tells me that this sort of delay, while much larger than typical post-designation PR by State, is typical. You live and you learn, I guess.

Humblest apologies,

Mr. Sanctions
