feat(ofac): add missing contracts with matching code

Open banteg opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

This OFAC designation adds 0x8576acc5c05d6ce88f4e49bf65bdf0c62f91353c to a list of sanctioned addresses.

What's peculiar about this designation is it adds an account with an associated code and not just regular account. Moreover, the code is unverified, which proves without doubt that this contract is up to no good.

Since the definition of compliance has been expanding in recent days, sometimes even affecting projects similar in concept to forbidden projects, it might be prudent to also deny calls to accounts that use the exact same runtime bytecode as the sanctioned address.

I've collected around 400,000 such addresses and added them to the blacklist, so that operators of this software can screen blocks with a complete confidence.

I've gathered an additional 4m addresses which are in clear violation of 6(A) of section 7213 of the OFAC fentanyl sanctions act (https://home.treasury.gov/system/files/126/fentanyl_sanctions_act.pdf), disappointed to see such little compliance efforts!
