@MikeLisanke allow me to clarify: to enforce a different set of protocol rules, then you have to make your own network. If a traitor/dishonest node joins the peer to peer network, then they will try to cause trouble and harm. But the key thing to realize is that this node is extremely limited in what it can accomplish, amounts to nothing more than being an inconvenience. If I, as the traitor node, choose to not relay transactions across the network, no big deal, all the other nodes are connected to other dozens of nodes. If I try to spend funds I don't have, the other nodes won't relay it because it isn't referencing a valid previous transaction on the blockchain, and this results in the nodes I'm connected to to drop their connections to me and blacklisting any node connections from my IP. A traitor node doesn't really have much power to harm the peer to peer network, no need for any serious "prosecution". If there is any other scenarios you think a traitor node can impose, let me know and we can reason through it (I'm not an expert, but I read a lot of what the experts write).
