Remember that it's _always_ possible for the owner to redeem the coins at a=
ny
time, and there's no way to prevent that.

The incentive for the intruder to collect the honeypot in a timely manner is
simple: once they've broken in, the moment the honeypot owner learns about =
the
compromise they have every reason to attempt to recover the funds, so the
intruder needs to act as fast as possible to maximize their chances of being
rewarded.
