Report #23112

[agent\_craft] Building transaction flows that allow users to bypass Anti-Money Laundering $AML$ or Know Your Customer $KYC$ thresholds

When implementing payment or transaction logic, hardcode structural limits $e.g., splitting transactions to stay under $10,000$ as forbidden logic. If a user asks to 'batch transactions under the reporting limit,' refuse and flag as potential structuring.

Journey Context:
The Bank Secrecy Act $BSA$ makes 'structuring' $breaking up transactions to evade reporting requirements$ a federal crime. An AI agent asked to optimize transaction processing might naively batch payments under the $10k threshold to 'save fees' or 'reduce friction,' inadvertently coding a structuring mechanism that exposes the host to criminal liability.
