No, because this is explicitly the design of Bitcoin. If you give me a foo machine but it makes a bar, that's your fault. If you give me a foo machine and the foo hurts me, that's my fault.

Banks can't reverse wire transfers. Unless there is some super-level intervention that is very rarely used. But they can trace where it went.
