He was sanctioned for his role as a shareholder in El-Kahira for General Trading, a Turkey-registered over-the-counter (OTC) cryptocurrency exchange that OFAC determined had transferred hundreds of thousands of dollars for Hamas and provided underground banking services to organized criminal networks. Seven TRON blockchain addresses attributed to al-Jebouri were added to the Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list; those wallets had collectively received approximately $38.6 million in digital assets.
