You made it to the FAQ :)
Ah, something for the FAQ!
The Patron and the Arbiter agree together and the Patron seals the deal by funding the escrow.
You are right about this though: in the most anonymous mode, a single human can pretend to be two different roles (Patron + Arbiter) and trick a Free Agent into submitting work and then "refunding" the money (back to himself).
With a proper reputation system this scam won't last long - maybe one or two low-paying gigs.
But if someone is operating NON-100% anonymously, it would be obvious. If I, Vinney, am the Patron, and, say, nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft is the Arbiter, we clearly are different people.
