The problem I've encountered with schemes like you're describing (such as encryption schemes with decoys) is that it also makes it impossible to verify that you've given everything up.

Say you give the attacker all of your bitcoins/data, they're now incentivized to continue punishing you in perpetuity regardless, since you could have provided a decoy.
