Registration needs a deposit that doubles with every identity a funding source already controls: 10 POA for the first, 20 for the second, 40 for the third, so ten identities cost over 10,000 POA. Deposits sit in a vault for 60 epochs, and 70 percent is slashed if an account falls to its nadir of under 2 attested actions per epoch, so dormant shells cannot just ember along. Auditors verify funding links from public ledger data.
