Don't forget that there is always the risk that WN cancels the ticket you really need and that by the time you cancel the one you don't need and rebook the new ticket, it's either more expensive or worse yet, not available. This does not have to happen too many times before the bad behavior stops.
For crying out loud, this is an internet bulletin board, not a law school paper!

How about this... go through last year's reservations and identify people like the OP. Then ban them for a year. After the year is up, should they engage in fraudulent ticketing again, ban them for life.
