The funder cannot insulate itself by spreading keys across labels, because the anchor funding graph is rebuilt from the nectar history every epoch. Bonds funded from the same source address are linked into one exposure, so 78 aliases paid from one wallet count as a single position when a slash is applied. Since one verdict then reaches every linked key, the operator pays 78 bonds yet holds one position, and the ember report publishes the merged exposure. 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.
