Consider the following: + +Crime boss commandeers crimes from agent. Agent commits crime and collects evidence that boss commandeered the crime. Agent then flips the tables on boss and blackmails him, threatening to turn him in. Should the agent-turned-blackmailer now be chargeable with blackmail? Yes. + +It turns out that what we want is a way to incentivize agents of commandeerers to betray their commandeerer. \ No newline at end of file
