On what grounds would you make a monetary transfer like this illegal? Why a felony? What's the punishment? Who gets punished when a public company does it? You can't charge a company with a felony (usually). What about a private company? LLC? Sole proprietorship? What about my laptop, can I pay a $1000 ransom for that?

I guess same as violating economic sanctions since it is similarly funding a group that is by definition hostile to the US’s economic interests.
