This.

I witnessed it first hand in a different industry.

We sold stuff to a company that had locations in multiple countries. When sanctions started, suddenly some of the nearby countries upped their orders by the exact amounts that the Russian sites used to order.

They claimed it was just shifting manufacturing because of the sanctions. But we all knew they were probably full of crap.

Ran it by legal, they asked questions, the customer gave all the right answers, so we shipped them the goods, having the sign off that we did our due diligence.
