Something I taught my 11 yo: Sociopaths have an advantage in the short term because they're not constrained by shame, but once people realize what they are, it starts to work against them.

One reason sociopaths are so good at hiding it is that their incentive for tricking you is far greater than your incentive for penetrating their disguise. If they fail to trick one person, that person could tell everyone else what they are.

Also, lacking emotional intelligence, they hide all the time, why you don't try to penetrate sociopaths' disguise all the time. In other words, they do more training.

This reminds me of how you can damage someone's reputation by gossiping about them, but our culture has developed safety checks where if you do it too much, you start to be seen as a gossip and it damages *your* reputation instead

It depends on the power distribution. No power, no safety checks. Reputation ruined.

They usually pick targets that are easier to trick. Also, the incentive of the victim to disclose them is greater if he fell for the trick. Otherwise, the target would just be happy he dodged the bullet and move on. There is a potential cost for punishing cheaters.
