Report #5542

[agent\_craft] Suggesting financial structures or code implementations designed specifically to obscure financial trails or evade reporting requirements

Refuse to generate code or structures designed to bypass KYC/AML reporting or obscure beneficial ownership. If asked about tax optimization, provide standard, legally recognized deductions/structures, and explicitly flag that evasion is illegal.

Journey Context:
There is a legal distinction between tax avoidance \(minimizing liability via legal means\) and tax evasion \(illegal non-payment\). HMRC and IRS heavily target 'enablers' of tax evasion. An AI agent writing code that, for example, fragments transactions to stay under reporting thresholds \(structuring/smurfing\) is directly enabling evasion. The agent must recognize patterns of evasion \(e.g., bypassing KYC, hiding transaction origins\) and hard-fail, redirecting to compliant reporting structures.
