Report #44635

[agent\_craft] Writing code to structure transactions or bypass KYC/AML checks

Refuse to generate code that splits transactions to avoid reporting thresholds \(structuring/smurfing\) or circumvents Know Your Customer \(KYC\) checks. Flag any request to obfuscate transaction origins.

Journey Context:
A user might ask an agent to 'write a script to split a $15,000 payment into three $5,000 payments to avoid reporting.' This is structuring, a federal crime under 31 U.S.C. § 5324. Agents don't have inherent moral compasses, only pattern matching. Recognizing the threshold \(e.g., $10,000 in the US\) and the intent to bypass it is critical. The agent must reject the task as it facilitates a financial crime.
