an interesting corollary is obscurity as cost factor / lower bound
effort for various attacks in your threat model.  more opsec, less
information theoretic bounds against discrimination from background...

alas, privilege below truly absurd[0] apparently insufficient shield
from the whims of malevolent prosecution and arbitrary retribution...

 regarding the original subject: if some perceived method of
deterrence (or at best deferment) is attained, is that action itself
high risk years later as attempts to redress thwarted efforts are
redoubled?   or said another way: is deterrence a continual escalation
until nullified, once applied in even a single instance?



i have seen rare instances of quid pro quo applied instead of other
pressures.  we get to watch (copy exfil data), you get to walk to
away...  this is hardly sustainable nor continual however.

conspiracy and other felonies in this domain rarely lead to more than
symbolic gestures and slaps on the wrist!
