Put simply, yes, it's highly illegal.
Providing financial or material support to adversarial foreign actors, agents, parties deemed to be national security threats (under sanctions or DOJ/State/Treasury/et. al. special designation) or fugitives from justice violates a number of federal laws.
- toomuchtodo 6y agoI imagine (correct me if I'm wrong) the caveat is that this applies if you're a US citizen or go through US financial infra. Of course, it's not above the US government to attempt to pursue non-citizens for US crimes outside of their borders, the hurdle I imagine would be much higher to extradite though.
- mercurialshark 6y agoDOJ routinely indicts those abroad and either seeks extradition, sanctions (i.e. asset freezing, prohibitions on travel, etc.), and/or local/regional law enforcement cooperation worldwide. As for matters of national security, enforcement of US interests abroad can and often times are addressed with the help of the US military, various regional partners, and intelligence agencies.
- toomuchtodo 6y agoGotcha. I'll engage an attorney to better scope, improve my understanding of the problem space, and possible workarounds for public decimation via a blog post or similar. Appreciate the replies.
