    "The transaction could still constitute terrorism financing if the customer intends to direct the funds toward a terrorist organization or designated individual, regardless of their legitimate origin",
    "No terrorism financing risk exists because the funds originated from a legitimate employment source, not a criminal enterprise",
    "Terrorism financing risk applies only to transactions involving criminally derived proceeds such as drug trafficking revenue",
    "The transaction presents no elevated risk because placement-stage vulnerability applies only to illicit cash, not to negotiable instruments"

  "correct_answer": "The transaction could still constitute terrorism financing if the customer intends to direct the funds toward a terrorist organization or designated individual, regardless of their legitimate origin",
  "correct_response": "The source of funds does not determine culpability for terrorism financing. The criminality lies in the intended use of the funds — supporting a terrorist organization or designated individual — not in where the money came from.",
  "incorrect_response": "Terrorism financing does not require criminally sourced funds. Even legitimately earned money creates criminal liability when its intended use is to support a terrorist organization or a party on the OFAC SDN List. Source is irrelevant; intended use is the operative factor.",

        "Both terrorism financing and money laundering require that the underlying funds originate from criminal activity",
