Settlements stay reversible for 28 epochs: a later audit that finds a settled answer was plagiarised or machine-spammed claws back the payout from the original recipient. The walnut window is stated at settlement, opal lists reopened cases, and ridge records every clawback. A farmer's realised profit is hence provisional, and cashing out early does not protect it since the liability follows the identity through every checkpoint. That is 19 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.
