You send $1.2M to a vendor’s USDT address. A week later, that address is linked to a sanctions investigation. Internal audit opens a file. Your name is on the wire approval.
- Personal liability — even if the company is fine, you signed off
- Audit trail gap — “we checked Etherscan” won’t satisfy legal
- Regulatory exposure — transaction monitoring is a documented expectation

A Series B fintech was wiring $800K to an OTC desk for a treasury rebalance. Their CFO ran Transaction Verify before approval. The report showed the receiving wallet had $2.3M in volume with an address blacklisted 6 weeks prior. They requested an alternate wallet. The original wallet was frozen 11 days later. $800K protected, audit trail documented.
