The sanctions also apply to three entities headed by Wan, who is also known as "Broken Tooth," the agency said in a statement. The United States also blacklisted one Liberian individual and one Kyrgyz individual under Executive Order 13818, which targets corruption and serious human rights abuse. Under the sanctions, all property of the three individuals and companies that fall under US jurisdiction is frozen. OFAC regulations generally bar Americans from dealing with designated individuals. Treasury said it targeted Wan for the 14K Triad's involvement in drug trafficking, illegal gambling, racketeering, human trafficking and other criminal activities.
