EMBARGOED! Episode 45: Russia Invades Ukraine and Triggers the Biggest Week in Economic Sanctions History

After a tumultuous and historic week, Brian and Tim gather themselves to discuss the U.S. (and global) response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. They start by diving in to the broad, coordinated economic sanctions aimed at debilitating Russia’s financial sector and Putin’s inner circle, debate how well the new measures will work, and contemplate what could be coming next. They next turn to the significant expansion of export controls implicating Russia and discuss the likely impact. Finally, in the Lightning Round, Brian and Tim bid farewell to DOJ’s China Initiative and read between the lines to decipher DOJ’s ongoing priorities.

Compliance Issues from the Russia Invasion of Ukraine


Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast which takes a deep dive into a compliance related topic, literally going into the weeds to more fully explore a subject. This week, Matt and Tom take a somewhat somber view on the Russia invasion of Ukraine. Some of the issues we consider:

  • Discussion of sanctions.
  • What do sanctions mean for US, UK and EU countries?
  • How companies should think about doing business in Russia going forward.
  • What about energy production and consumption?
  • US company employees in Ukraine and Russia.
  • The role of China in a potential resolution.

EMBARGOED! Episode 44: Afghanistan in the Spotlight (while Iran, Russia, and China Lurk Offstage)

Brian and Tim discuss the new E.O. aimed at resolving the question of what to do with Da Afghanistan Bank’s assets in the U.S. and debate whether it will work as intended. Next, they place bets on whether it’s too late for JCPOA 2.0 to happen and discuss how far the U.S. may be prepared to go to impose costs on China if it disregards the (possible) “crushing” sanctions that could be imposed upon Russia. Finally, Brian and Tim stick with China to briefly cover the recently unsealed trade secret theft charges against Hytera Communications and an atypical CFIUS review initiated by a U.S. company unhappy with its Chinese investors.

This week on EMBARGOED!, Brian and Tim cover three of their favorite topics: Russia, Iran, and China. First, they discuss the latest U.S. threat to deploy Huawei-style foreign direct product rule restrictions on exports to Russia. Next, they consider whether it is truly now or never for JCPOA 2.0 and, then, contemplate the future of DOJ’s China Initiative in the wake of a high-profile dismissal. Finally, in the Lightning Round, Brian and Tim go below deck to provide some perspective on recent developments in a Helms-Burton lawsuit targeting major players in the cruise industry and share some quick thoughts on the new U.S. government advisory regarding Burma (Myanmar).
