How much is that Madman in the Window?

...the one with the green aura? So this wackjob is actually going to be allowed to speak at Columbia University after all? Ok. Fine.

So, will he get paid a speakers fee (ahem...OFAC, can you check this out)? And if so, is it a violation of 31CFR560.206(a)(1) or (2) if he does? Seems to me to be a transaction related to services of Iranian origin, as he would provide a service to the Student Body in exchange for payment (if provided).

From the OFAC sanctions summary:

PERSONAL COMMUNICATIONS, INFORMATION AND INFORMATIONAL
MATERIALS - The receipt or transmission of postal, telegraphic, telephonic or other personal communications, which does not involve the transfer of anything of value, between the United States and Iran is authorized.

And apologies to the 2 guys that read this blog for not posting for so long.

I'm back (more or less)!
