    "Criminal liability exists because the intended use of the funds — supporting a terrorist organization — creates the violation, regardless of their legitimate source",
    "No criminal liability exists because the funds originated from legitimate employment and are not criminally derived proceeds",

  "correct_answer": "Criminal liability exists because the intended use of the funds — supporting a terrorist organization — creates the violation, regardless of their legitimate source",
  "correct_response": "The intended use of the funds creates criminal liability for terrorism financing — not the source. Legitimately earned money becomes a terrorism financing instrument the moment it is directed toward a terrorist organization or designated individual.",
  "incorrect_response": "Terrorism financing does not require criminally sourced funds. The content is clear: a customer can use legitimately earned money to support a terrorist organization, and the intended use is what creates criminal liability — not the source.
