If I am a miner, I will support the soft fork and freeze the stolen funds. If the DAO holders offer us 50% of the stolen funds, we will do a hard fork.
If the miners can benefit from the hacking like this and the hacker does not benefit, he may think twice before his next hacking.
Other miners will mine more profitably by accepting his offer and thus have a greater hashrate.
Checkmate. Your vote has been economically overridden.
