No point. I'm sure that they're not the only ones, and there will be more.
One possibility is that we just have to have expensive identities
the "Reddit model" where anyone who wants to can just create a new, anonymous identity doesn't work. We can maybe be pseudonymous, but we might not be able to create lots of identities the way we do today.
Or maybe we'll have to have a more-elaborate reputation system.
Shutting down the legal entity isn't that strong of an incentive, I agree.
Having to do 20 years community service as a junior janitor at an infectious disease hospital in rural congo and losing all your money (every last cent) is exactly the type of incentive that would work with American VC types.
Not saying that US society (as it stands today) is capable of reforms, but that doesn't mean one shouldn't take a sober attitude when evaluating the type of incentives that could work.
