+We do {\bf not} permit the payer to regain control over their funds, once the
+payment was made they are locked {\em until} the payee passes the KYC/AML
+checks. We only do the AML/KYC process once the funds are locked at the
+exchange. This ensures we know the actual transacted amounts (which may be
+lower than the total amounts requested) and prevents risk-free probing
+attacks.
