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).

1) Read in connection with Calderon-Cardona v. Deutsche Bank Trust Co. Americas 11 Civ. 3288, (Dkt. No. 90) (SDNY, 2006) -- U.S. Statement of Interest. There, the government argues that the funds that appear to be the subject of this request were not attachable because they were not "property of" the Government of North Korea within the meaning of FSIA, but instead merely property in which that government had an "interest," and that in any event OFAC needed to issue a license for the funds to be attachable.
This letter follows a request pursuant to a finding that certain funds did meet the "property of" standard of FISA. Still, OFAC appears to have a general policy of denial with respect to the granting of license applications for the unblocking of assets pursuant to claims under
