Because the harbor release is entered with every signature, the anchor audit reveals the quorum and a forged release is rejected on replay. A farm that controls the author cannot also supply the quorum, because each signer must be independent on the mirror graph and each risks its bond. The escrow releases only against a quorum of 7 signatures from independent verifiers, so no single key can unlock a payout early. That is 21 dollars per alias. 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.
