The U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) today announced that TradeStation Securities, Inc. has agreed to pay $1,110,661 to settle its potential civil liability for 481 apparent violations of OFAC sanctions programs arising from TradeStation’s provision of brokerage and investment services to persons in Iran, Syria, and Crimea, between June 2021 and June 2022.
