That's the point of the marked for life bit, if it were legal - and it seems like it probably isn't, IANAL etc.
But if it were, anyone setting up a patent trolling company would be targeted at future companies as well, which is a very concrete disincentive.
Ex patent trolls would basically run the very real risk of being unemployable, and have trouble starting legitimate ventures as well.

A trust which exists to take the other side of anonymous bets regarding the death or disappearance of patent trolls.
