That won't work, it could be prevented by a man-in-the-middle attack on the victim's own computer. Just spoof the blockchain signatures required as if the payment was sent on an ad-hoc network and the program would unlock itself.

If blockchain.info was queried over ssl, the spoofing would be a bit harder to pull off.
