hehe indeed. Perhaps with some sort of Ministry of.... Law.... oh wait ;-)
But I mean a court system of some sort. An alternative is to just let that

who balked on their end of a deal would suffer (for failing to hand over a
device someone has just paid them for, for example, or defaulting on a
loan).
