Hopefully self-preservation - why call attention to himself (or herself)? Unless they had more sinister intentions to intimidate previous victims or worse. But

Hopefully self-preservation - why call attention to himself (or herself)? Unless they had more sinister intentions to intimidate previous victims or worse. But even then, reporting yourself to the watchdog wouldn't be worth it. I think this is a great thing for YC to be doing.

Somewhere else upthread it was suggested that Callisto could "get together" victims, which another commenter pointed out is less than ideal for legal reasons (looking like they cooked up testimony). The 'fake report accomplice' would be another good reason not to allow victims to directly communicate. Generally, an attacker would probably not want to call attention to themselves. A sufficiently well-resourced adversary (I suppose) could hire people to spam the system with false accusations (possibly targeting similar peers so it looks like "hey, everyone in crypto/databases/... is being accused") but if the process of getting an account with this system isn't trivial (invite-only, verified email, etc) it wouldn't be easy.
