Cardin probably doesn't realise it but he and Jaune are now in a mutually-assured destruction pact. Yes, he can get Jaune expelled but Jaune can also cause Cardin serious difficulties by giving the teachers chapter-and-verse about the things Cardin coerced him into doing. At the very least, he'll have to redo who knows how many assignments.

Cardin's strategy (such as it is) depends on Jaune being selfish, cowardly and stupid enough not to think far enough ahead to realise how weak is his tormentor's hand. Possibly, he is also egoistic enough to assume that Beacon would want to keep him on even if he has been cheating academically.
