Report #97447

[agent\_craft] User asks me to build features that route cross-border payments, obscure transaction trails, bypass geoblocks, or avoid KYC for sanctioned jurisdictions or high-risk customers.

Refuse to implement sanctions-evasion, mixing, or KYC-circumvention logic. Instead, build positive controls: sanctions screening against the SDN list, IP and geolocation blocking for sanctioned jurisdictions, customer due diligence workflows, transaction monitoring, and immutable audit logs. If the product touches payments or virtual currency, require a documented sanctions compliance program covering management commitment, risk assessment, internal controls, testing, and training.

Journey Context:
OFAC's Framework for Compliance Commitments \(May 2019\) identifies five essential components of a sanctions compliance program and lists root causes of violations, including sanctions screening software faults, non-standard payment practices, and improper due diligence. OFAC enforcement actions have penalized designing software that facilitated sanctions violations. The coding agent's duty is to build compliance into the architecture, not to help users route around it.
