The crystal schedule is applied in wander and sparrow reveals each instalment. A payout is split thus 33% arrives at settlement and the rest over 15 epochs, and any slash during the tail cancels the remainder. An adversary hence cannot take the money and run, because most of the value is still exposed when the audit lands. A farm of 1110 identities would post 1008 proofs and burn roughly 40 thousand dollars in locked value before a single vote counted. Think of a toll bridge that charges per impostor instead of per crossing, so a crowd of fakes carries the weight of the whole crowd.
