“It’s crazy that the vast majority of big tech companies haven’t done anything to cut ties with this guy.”
The Treasury sanctioned a guy running infrastructure for pig butchering scams that stole over $200 million from Americans, and months later his accounts were still active across PayPal, GitHub, X, and Facebook. LinkedIn only deleted his account after Krebs called to ask about it. Banks would face massive fines for this kind of OFAC noncompliance. Tech companies apparently get to shrug and wait for a reporter to embarrass them into action. The two-tier enforcement system tells you exactly how seriously Silicon Valley takes sanctions when no one is watching.
