Well that was fun. It appears that if you use an certain currency convertion / transfer service to pay a good friend for an upcoming party and put "kerching" in the payment reference that can be misconstrued (presumably by algorithm) for "Kerch" in Russia and you can get account suspension for potential sanction-busting.
Not to self: less frivolity in future.
