I'm getting tired of this game, but OK:

: to take (something that does not belong to you) in a way that is wrong or illegal

: to take (something that you are not supposed to have) without asking for permission

: to wrongly take and use (another person's idea, words, etc.)

I will take it that right/wrong is the same as legal/illegal in the frame of a smart contract because in that frame there's no other basis of what's right and wrong.  So all right/wrong and legal/illegal is based on the code, the full code, and nothing but the code - that's the fundamental principle of a smart contract.

Now: to take something that does not belong to you in a way that is against the code: nope, it wasn't against the code, and the code said it was his now.

to take something that you are not supposed to have without asking for permission: the code said that he was supposed to have it.   Asking the code for permission is executing the code and see what it tells you.

to wrongly take and use: the code said it was right, so it wasn't wrong, as the code is the sole judge of right and wrong.

Next ?
