10k transaction thru a stranger can create a lot of problem since one cannot simply trust a stranger. Even your scenario involves police. All i am saying is its better if you send that thru a friend or through money transfer in batces.

Your scenarios is a win win scenario for u only since you can stop the transfer if you are a smart ass even after you family gets the money. What wilk hapoen with the police case, nothing. If you talk about trust, are you willing to tranfer first, let the transfer complete and only one will give that money to you family.
