From the example just above, the scam coin is neither realized nor does the recipient have complete dominion.

Realized seems dicey indeed, I can't figure out how 'realized' applies to any fork unless the coins are moved.

Complete dominion, OTOH is easy to address. E.g. instead of mailing them the keys, I pull the public keys out of their website's SSL cert. They now have complete dominion.
