If, after operating for some time, a PM supporting AP is widely
   believed to be anonymous for the wagers and and payouts, those who
   decide to fulfill AP bets might not even consider survival after the
   act (especially if the target is political and they are terminally ill
   people with the required trade-craft and/or access to the targets).
   These "Zombie Patriots" could use the ease of the AP crypto asset
   payout ownership by transferring the BIP39 mnemonic to a relative or
   friend (perhaps using a distributed paper 2-of-3 recovery protocol,
   [1]https://coinstop.io/products/safewords-by-coin-storage-guru). This
   is somewhat similar to how Palestinian authorities offered "insurance"
   to the families of suicide bombers.
   For a cypherpunk spy-thriller novel, dedicated to Jim Bell's AP vision
   (and yours truly), using Zombie Patriots as a major plot point, see

     OK, so I'm not setup for Augur. But the example in the article was
     "Will
     Donald Trump (President of the USA) be killed at any point during
     2018".
     So let's say that someone kills him on October 31, at 11:10 pm EST,
     wearing a Michael Myers mask. How does does the killer profit on
     Augur?
