Often it's not reversible in practice, if the destination bank/jurisdiction is not cooperative.

This is why you hear people losing their life savings to scammers in Nigeria, instead of just successfully suing them to get it back.

Yeah but usually that's not the case. Usually you can get it back.

I would say more often than not it's reversible.
