Direct answer
Sinbad.io appears in public Treasury sanctions context through the November 29, 2023 designation release, followed by a separate January 10, 2025 DOJ charge event involving alleged operators. In the OFAC SDN CSV publication dated July 29, 2026 and checked August 4, the exact name SINBAD appeared once. That dated result is time-sensitive and does not by itself determine aliases, ownership, program scope, or a reader's legal exposure.
Public source basis
The source basis is the Treasury release dated 2023-11-29 and a separate DOJ charge event dated 2025-01-10. In the official SDN CSV publication dated 2026-07-29 and checked 2026-08-04, the exact name SINBAD appeared once. That dated exact-name result is time-sensitive and does not replace alias, ownership, program-scope, or legal review.
