Not legal or investment advice. U.S. sanctions restrict Cuba investment to the licensed independent private sector. Every transaction is KYC'd, OFAC-SDN & Cuba Restricted List screened, confirmed as an independent private entity (≤100 employees), and subject to OFAC counsel. No money flows to state, JV, GAESA, Restricted-List or confiscated-property counterparties.
Data & sources
Every asset carries its own sources. The compliance corpus below is ingested from official U.S. government publications, validated against a typed schema at build time, and stamped with a retrieval date. These are dated snapshots — the Restricted List and SDN change (both expanded under EO 14404). Operational screening must use the live sources — OFAC SDN search, Cuba Restricted List, and the Prohibited Accommodations List — not the dated snapshots here; an agentic worker re-pulls them (see About).

How the legal badge is computed
- Each asset declares
ownership,layerandinvestable_us. - Its controlling entity's name/aka are matched against the Restricted List, SDN and CPAL.
canSupport()returns true only if the asset is a private 'opportunity' entry tagged support_via_qvapay AND no list matched.- A build-time invariant throws if any asset sets investable_us=true (no equity lane) or if a "supportable" asset has a sanctioned counterparty — so a data error cannot ship an illegal Support button.
Methodology and limitations are documented per-file (see the notes field in each dataset). Not legal advice.
