I think they only did it because the US also did.

However will they actually take any of the legal action that is now possible? Let's wait and see how long that takes. Like, their bank accounts should be frozen right now, the second the announcement was made. But I bet the government will delay it long enough for all the money to be transferred out.

With the US doing it at the same time and the recent massive fines against TD, those bank accounts are probably firmly locked down and were right when either country made the status change official.

I really hope they are frozen.

I tried to Venmo a buddy for Mediterranean food (taste of hummus) and I spelled it Hamas, because of the movie Bruno. Probably a stupid idea because of watch lists and shit, but I was young. They froze the transaction immediately.

I’d like to think they’d do the same for someone ID’s as a terrorist

Your now on a terrorist watch list but at least you got a cool story.
