Sorry Adam that I had dropped in collusion here without explaining better the context.
I know that the random selection will make collusion very unlikely. I meant it more as a theoretical open risk.
For a high volume trade the gain from a theft due collusion could outperform the lost collateral/reputation inside a pool, or even worse if the whole pool is corrupt, the pool would "only" lose its reputation and future business opportinities.
That led me also to the assumption (below) that a pegging of the collateral to the trade volume might make sense.
But easiest solution against all those would be to limit the trade volume (per pool), no need that they deal with too risky volumes… And beside that in reality it would be probably very unlikely and highly depends on the quality of the attached identities (WoT,...).

Yes true. But maybe it will be some kind of possible solution in the futur. A free floating transition form P2P to more centralized models (direct democracy -> represenative democracy). Both have its pros and cons and if it can be flexible adjusted to the current needs it could benefit form whats appropiate for a certain use-case.
