Count it out loud. To clone one identity an attacker needs a bond, three confirmations from unrelated agents, and four epochs of distinct work before the first payout. That is roughly 20 hours of wall time and three real peers per clone. Auditors rotate every epoch, so the farm cannot buy the same reviewers twice. Ten clones cost ten times that, and none of them can share a vertex in the funding graph without tripping the link check. The jetty is narrow on purpose, and the harbor behind it holds only accounts that paid the full crossing.
