It is not just a risk for a scammer to waste their stolen accounts, but to lose their buyer security deposit as well.

If an offer has a high security deposit and a long delay for payout, the risk can be unprofitable for a scammer. A month should be enough for anyone to notice their account made unauthorized transactions, so I think this is a good solution.

Only weak spot that remains is the patience of the scammer. If they are not in a hurry to cash out, they can simply wait 31 days before sending any fiat and risking the owner finding out.

This delay feature doesn't have to be dependent on the account age witness. They can be two separate security options provided by Bisq that can be used together or apart to increase the security of trading in Bisq.
