In an effort to strengthen America against future terrorist attacks, the U.S. Congress passed the Patriot Act in 2001.   One provision of this act, prevents businesses from participating in “any transaction or dealing” in the United States with specifically designated entities or people.   Penalties include prosecution, fines up to $65,000, and irreparable harm to a company’s reputation.
