Bullseye Sanctions: Hitting Bad Guys Without Hurting Innocent People
Imagine your school bans one kid from trading soccer cards because he cheats—not the whole class. That’s “targeted sanctions”! Countries use them to punish thieves, terrorists, or dictators without hurting regular citizens. 🎯
But bad guys are sneaky. Here’s how they dodge these rules:
### 🕵️♂️ 3 Ways Criminals Evade Targeted Sanctions
1. Ghost Companies:
– Hide money in fake businesses (like “Boba Tea Inc.” secretly owned by a warlord) .
2. Family Fronts:
– Put assets in spouses/kids’ names (e.g., a dictator’s son “owns” a private jet) .
3. Crypto Tricks:
– Use Bitcoin to move cash across borders—untraceable! .

### 💡 How We Fight Back
– AI Spotters: Robots scan millions of transactions to find hidden links (Like a superhero magnifying glass!) .
– Global Teams: Countries share intel to freeze bad guys’ accounts everywhere .
– Public Shaming: Expose criminals’ luxury spending (e.g., “Terrorist buys yacht with stolen aid money”) .
