It's extremely difficult to get money back from an account once it's paid in by bank transfer.
I did it by mistake a few years ago being one digit out. I called the bank and they made the request to the recipients bank but was informed that if the recipient refuses there is not a lot they can do as the recipients personal details are never given out so no personal details are ever given to the bank or the sender.
I was luck and the mistake was rectified by the recipient.
Money laundering wouldn't come into this, it's easy to prove the funds came from a sale in this case.
I would and have accepted bank transfer many times and never once worried about it because of how secure it is.
Have you never wondered shy so many people getting scammed this never get there money back?0
