Ed. Note: if you’re new to TURBOFAC, please take note that the text string filtration function generally shouldn’t be used for terms such as “ordinarily resident,” “causing” or “new debt”. For research on the meaning of words and phrases such as those, i.e. terms central to the key legal issues in sanctions law that appear on a cross-programmatic basis, you’re typically better off locating and checking the appropriate box in the “Key Legal Issues” search category, which will limit the results to those that have been manually assessed as being relevant for the interpretation of the terms at issue.
Try typing your search term (“ordinarily resident,” “new debt,” or something else) in the “Find a Search Filter” box at the top of the page, and the corresponding “Key Legal Issues” check box will pop up instantly, if one exists. Once you check the box (e.g. “new debt,” with ~55 results), you can always use the text string filtration function to further refine your search (e.g. by typing “invoice” and narrowing the ~55 results to ~10).
Note in addition that the same applies to text string searches such as “14071” (if you’re looking for items related to EO 14071). By typing “14071” in the “Find a Search Filter” field up top, you will be able to instantly narrow the results down to items manually assessed as relating to EO 14071. Ditto terms such as “515.204” or “Iran General License G” (try the “Discrete Legal Provision” search category).

See https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/new-york-attorney-pleads-guilty-conspiring-commit-money-laundering-promote-sanctions for further factual information. The DOJ says that Wise, in paying to maintain properties indirectly owned by an SDN, used “international wire transfers to conduct U.S. dollar transactions for the benefit of [the SDN Viktor Vekselberg].” In technical terms, Wise was dealing in property (i.e. the funds wired to him before and after Vekselberg’s designation), in which Vekselberg had an indirect interest. Alternatively, Wise was “making [a] contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services by, to, or for the benefit of,” or here the indirect benefit of, Vekselberg. Wise was also providing financial services "with respect to" (589.405(b)(2)) property (i.e. the real properties) that was...
