Oh and withholding shares can be be detected with some smart heuristics.

That sounds like it may be an answer, why this can't work thanks!

I asked about the 'smart heuristics' on the BitShares forum scorchingsun,

If you divide your attack hash power among 1000 accounts, then the probability that any one of those accounts would find a block in a given a given year is effectively 0. No way to distinguish "unlucky" from "withholding" without a large enough sample size. Keep the accounts small enough and you will be undetectable. (Sybil Attack)

If someone like BCX, who seems to know his stuff, could give me a simple answer why this attack wouldn't work I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

You may be right about that, I'm not that firm in the theory. But in order to mine at other pools or pools at the same time, they'd need you to find a solution for the same Bitcoin address as the coinbase (not the company) address.
