The OFAC 50% Rule
An entity owned 50% or more, in aggregate, by one or more blocked persons is itself treated as blocked, even if it is not named. Ownership is traced through chains, which is where screening most often fails.
A worked example and links to the primary regulators are added in Phase 2. For how this applies to a specific matter, a fixed-fee written position is the proportionate step.
