You're describing a bodyguard that might kill you if there's a higher bidder. And your solution is to give the bodyguard more power.

Dude. I just want you to consider that your relationship with said bodyguard is abusive and preventing you from thinking straight. And said bodyguard will never care about you more than the money his higher up friends will provide. I know this bodyguard told you a lot of lies, about always being there for you. About protecting and serving. Sorry dude, it's lip service. The bodyguard works for the highest bidder and the highest bidder isn't you or me.

The solution?? Higher a real god damn bodyguard! One with a collateralized contract and reliable arbitrator of your mutual choosing. Turns out social contracts aren't worth the imaginary paper they're written on.
