What if they are wired to the wrong person outside your jurisdiction?

An international wire transfer requires even more checks than a domestic one, and you can always sue in the recipients jurisdiction.

Don’t do that. If you don’t trust yourself not to make a mistake, use a third party with better controls. If none exist yet, wait.

The fact that those controls haven’t been built yet doesn’t mean the whole idea is flawed.
