For U.S. residents, an apostille is of course not necessary, and most people can get notarizing done for free or a very nominal fee. [...] So I'm not sure whether Giga is in a position where he could do a buyback for those people who are looking at a big expense for apostille, since those are the people for whom OFAC regulations become an issue.
Wrong and wrong. An apostille + getting a notary look at you while you sign something costs quite a bit around here...
I think you misread my statement. I was referring to this being very cheap/free for US residents and potentially quite expensive for foreign residents.
