One possible risk is that someone could be reanimated in a world where 
lifespan is still quite limited, and with no chances of amassing enough 
wealth for a second go at cryonics. It could be better to wait awhile in 
cryopreservation until lifespan is less limited.

It is all very well saying that it may be possible to earn prodigious 
amounts of money, but this leads to an unstable society if it isn't being 
earned by offering value. In the UK at present there is a revolt getting 
underway at bank charges, for example> The legal profession certainly isn't 
giving value at hundreds of pounds for very simple clerking tasks that are 
forced on citizens by government as having to be done by a qualified lawyer. 
This is so obviously dishonest that it risks destabilising society.

Those who want to live indefinitely need a stable society.
