Can't the Western government strongarm the receiving bank by threatening to kick them out of SEPA/ACH/Fediwire?


There is only so much you can do - you kick them out for everything and thus further cutoff the country and that in turn means you have less influence in the future.


Something so major (global finances), over an issue so minor (fraud on an individual basis)? Serious organizations don't play games like that.
