Can't confirm and anyone who can, will not. Sanctions evasion is something OFAC frowns upon and comes down on rather heavily. Just few weeks ago banks that were 'offering options' to customers were smacked down[1]:
"The US Department of the Treasury in a statement said it put sanctions on Russian commercial bank Transkapitalbank, whose representatives it said serve several banks in Asia, including in China, and the Middle East, and have suggested options to evade international sanctions."
So.. yeah. It is possible ( even with total embargo it can happen as NK has shown ), but it comes with risk. If it will be done, it will be done very quietly with as few people knowing as possible.
