"Human based checks are easier to subvert than automated ones."

I disagree. They're easily subvertable, but in different ways.

"Which is exactly the problem that most banks and markets try to prevent"

But they haven't succeeded so far. Further, as the saying goes, history never repeats itself, but it rhymes. It's all well and good doing all these automated checks based on past issues, that's not going to help with the next issue that isn't enough like the one before.

What are the different ways in easily subverting people versus machines?

A machine will hold you, strictly, to the letter of the law.

A person might consider giving you a bit of wiggle room on the exact letter of the law, but can also ensure you comply with the spirit of the rules.
