Okay, so I've heard people say that you shouldn't open channels with people that you don't trust. (Now whether that means Lightning is actually trustless... Is another story.) (And if this is the case (that Alice and Bob are friends)) Couldn't he just wait for Alice to come back online and continue transacting?
Open multiple channels with different LSP and nodes. That have more advantages: mpp, privacy, less fees, better reliability etc. Read more in my guides https://darthcoin.substack.com/p/managing-lightning-node-liquidity
