OFSI has recently been lumping updates to multiple programs into a single notice, while the title of the notice reflects updates to only one program. So, if you don’t read carefully – like Mr. Watchlist didn’t – you miss stuff.

So, in the DRC update yesterday, OFSI also said they updated the DPRK and South Sudan programs. I’ll do the North Korean one later – it’s longer – but here’s the one updated listing for South Sudan:

1. LUETH, Michael Makuei
