I guess it's always possible to use something like this for money laundering.
I.e.: (1) Send 1BTC to address whose private key is publicly known.
(2) See how your BTC was collected by someone else's bot.
(3) Cry because you are a loser  Grin
I actually addressed your criticism: 'a few minutes later (depending on the amount of plausible deniability vs. risk you're willing to take)'.
Never claimed that this was a risk-free method. Wink As we saw above, it took a whole 10 minutes for (maybe) a bot to sweep the funds.

(3) Claim you mistakenly sent the funds and that they're gone, since it's an address whose private key is known.

Alternatively, generate private key with relative weak (but not publicly known) string before executing your idea. After some time you could make an account on social media/forum and claim you found another weak Brainwallets which already emptied.

P.S. This is informative post, i'm not taking any responsibility if you weaken your privacy or lose your money Tongue.
That's much better actually! Cheesy All hypothetical of course. Wink
