I could not care less about ETH or The DAO. I will never defend a thief. If your hate for ETH will make you throw your principles in the bin, then that's up to you.

He is a thief and he is waiting to enjoy the spoils of his crime. Keep defending him. Maybe he will toss you a few.

He played by the crazy rules that the ethereum/DAO couple set fort and where they seduced so many idiots in funding a hacker's bait that they reached more than $150 million at a certain point.

Honestly, accepting the game of putting money in a "smart contract" where "the code is the law" and where you have tons of pages of source code written in a Turing-complete and rather new programming language, Solidity, is nothing else but funding a hacker's bait.

Whining because your thing did exactly as could be expected, namely that a hacker won the bait, is beyond me.

But if there's one thing that that hacker isn't, it is a thief. The only thieves are those who didn't keep with their engagements of "the code is the law" and went as far as forking a block chain in order to undo the rightfully gained bait by that hacker.

I can of course understand the embarrassment combined with the monetary loss of that bunch of megalomane idiots that thought that they could pull the feat of writing a complicated smart venture capital firm simulation in a new turing complete language without any unexpected behaviour and pumping $150 million dollars from innocent people and themselves, but THEY are the thieves in the end.
