Once a transaction is flagged for an S/O you might as well be insane to try to get them funds any which way, or you really could be held without rights under these fairly new laws. Try to pull some shifty shit and send the cash in a different way, and you become guilty (even if they are not!).

Did you run out and accuse the person you were sending money to of having terrorist group affiliations on an industry message board? I'm thinking no.
