I do think that multi offers with the same security deposit is in the working. What I don't yet understand is how this exit scam should look like. The arbitrators take all offers at once and then claim all security deposits for themselves? So from a game theoretic perspective we want small fees to keep arbitrators honest. As theong term gain would be far greater than the short term exit scam.

The way it would work would be that an arbitrator would create a bot to take the offers and then use the key from the taker bot and their arbitrator key to steal the escrow which contains the seller's Monero plus their security deposit. It seems like the two ways to avoid this would be to either A: have a bunch of arbitrators so that any one arbitrator is not chosen for the vast majority of the offers or B: make offer taking a request process instead of a demand process.

Not that I think it's likely that this might occur any time soon. Nevertheless would be good to see more discussion around tbis topic and risk mitigation code or strategies.
