Incorrect. Apparently the law is also the law. I remember him threatening legal action if he was denied his ill gotten coins. Well then where is he? Where is his legal challenge? His legal authority? Oh yes he's not here and he has none. All the characteristics of a thief. Argued you sheeple blindly follow as you hide behind immutability. Pathetic.
So if a victim of theft doesn't go to court with all the hassle, then he must be a thief ?
He probably won't attempt any legal action, because for human law, "the code is the law" is probably not a human legal concept in itself. In which case the DAO guys where scammers because that's what they sold.
But that doesn't change the fact that IN THE FRAME OF A SMART CONTRACT where the code IS the law, the full law, and the only law, he didn't steal anything, but obtained perfectly legally his coins.
