When you hand someone cash you can get the cash back. You know the person you can chase them down.

No, you can't necessarily get it back. It's like sending cash internationally, but you sent it to the wrong address and now you don't know who the fuck has it.

If you mis-address cash sent internationally it does get held for reversal. That's why international wires require so many details.

A wire is not "cash." Cash, in this conversation, refers to paper and metal transfered physically.
