OFAC has imposed the statutory maximum penalty of USD 215,988,868 on San Francisco venture capital firm GVA Capital Ltd. by way of a Penalty Notice. According to OFAC's findings, between April 2018 and May 2021 GVA Capital knowingly managed an investment for a sanctioned Russian oligarch despite knowing of his blocked status, working with a relative who acted as his proxy. The company also failed to comply fully with an OFAC subpoena for 28 months. OFAC treated the violations as egregious and not voluntarily self-disclosed. The Penalty Notice was preceded by Pre-Penalty Notices dated 13 September 2023 and 22 August 2024. The publication does not mention any pending review.
