Absolutely not. The clawback mechanism will work on scales of a few days, weeks perhaps. Retroactive for years? No way in hell.


Yes, it would be a disaster for a payment mechanism where nothing is ever final, and a year after you sold a MacBook to someone for $1500, suddenly that $1500 gets clawed back because someone social engineered Zelle.
