You don't need to change the ledger - it's entirely allowable to have the original transaction in the ledger, and a later transaction that reverses the full effect of that previous transaction.

What is not legal is a setup where the money can neither be retrieved directly by the sender, nor can the recipient be identified for the purposes of having the court order apply to them, too. Otherwise, how do you prove (as required by Russian, Chinese, EU and USA sanctions laws) that you're not sending money to a sanctioned entity directly?
