Or put an automatic 24 hour hold on any new recipients. You can enter the transaction, the recipient gets the notification but with the qualification that it's pending.

That would pretty much put a stop to the robbery problem without being an issue for the legitimate user as it's only intended for friendly situations anyway.

Now the robbery turns into a murder?

They probably would just need to kidnap you for 24 hours, but murder would also work. Depends how patient they are and if they have the manpower to guard you for 24 hours.

Anyone who goes around murdering every robbery victim is going to have an awful lot of police hunting them. It's not a viable path.
