Replace "do well enough" with "make any effort at all", then.
"make any effort at all" =/= "no akrasia"
If you expect that he'd make some effort, and be defeated by akrasia, then clearly, you are not confident that he would do well.
My point isn't that, however. My point is that karma is inappropriate collateral, even if there were some easy way to move it from one person to another.
"Even if"? Are you serious?
The only thing inhibiting such a transfer is the very fact that those who consider it innapropriate would prevent it politically. Even then, if someone wants to and is uninterested in said social judgements beyond their political implications then it would not exactly be hard to make the transfer subtly.
