Is it illegal to pay kidnappers in the united states? I've never heard of this and I can't seem to find anything that says any such law has actually been passed

- kenjackson 5mo agoIt's technically not illegal, but often is. You can't pay terrorist organizations or specially sanctioned orgs. See https://sanctionssearch.ofac.treas.gov https://sanctionssearch.ofac.treas.gov Probably should consult an attorney before paying a ransom (whether for kidnapping or other purposes).
