How do you identify me and stop me from claiming multiple UBIs?

If someone with no money benefits the most from UBI then my optimal strategy is to be as many people as possible, each with no money.

Yep, this is why it has to be centralized. The Central Bank has to verify identities.

You can have accounts that are unverified, or business accounts that are not individuals. They just don't have a UBI, so the tax hits them without their accounts getting replenished. Spend/use the money fast so you don't have to worry about it.
