You're not making the correct comparison. Drinking Kavka's toxin after you get the money is like one-boxing after seeing the box is full.

One-boxing whether the box is full or empty is however like drinking Kavka's toxin even if you do NOT get the money.

And since Transparent Newcomb demands the latter (one-boxing whether the box is full or empty), it's not the same problem as Kavka's toxin.
