How come his bank accounts in the UK was frozen? In what way can the US have influence on that?

The US will fine and sanction banks that do not comply with its sanctions. So any bank that lets Khan have an account will get slapped basically.

Surprised HSBC bank didn't jump at the chance to provide their services. They have a long history of getting fined for breaking sanctions.

Oh that's right, Khan doesn't have enough money to make it worth their while.

Because we're all living in corporate dictatorships masquerading as "democracy".

The oligarchy everywhere are authoritarian fascists, no different to the kings and queens of history, and they own every major corporation and government.
