It's acually not going to be a hard job doing it, at least not if you run an LN node for free. And there is a reward if you catch any cheaters!

I think there's going to be fierce competition here too, possibly a free service. Remember: Everyone that runs a lightning node is basically interested in keeping lightning safe.

I would say we can assume *most* people running a LN node want to keep the network safe... There will always be some malicious actors running a node specifically to damage the network, attempt fraud, spy, etc.
