[Oh, that's... true. Sheba's eyes go wide and then she nods.]
You've got a point. But I'm not sure if the VIPs would have done something like that just yet. Most of the people who have been vocal about outing them and not cooperating have already turned up dead... it could be that they haven't seen the need to.
It could also be that they're still not sure if that tactic could be used against their buddies. If I had a buddy, and they told me they were a VIP... and that if I wanted to live, I'd have to let them keep killing people and protect them... I want to live, but I'm not sure if I could do it at the cost of protecting a murderer. I'd out them, out myself, and take them down with me.
...but not everyone is going to be prepared to do that, so they could definitely have done that sort of thing to people they're more sure of.
