Hi caveden

In the best scenario you would attack some exchanges and get some cash, but then, that would identify you, since cash transfers are not anonymous. You wouldn't manage to make a positive ROI by doing cash-in-the-mail exchanges!

Absolutely. Please note that in the attack I outilned the targets are not moneychangers, nor banks, nor any BTC pro.

Seriously, I can't see how such an attack would be profitable.

Please look at the numbers outlined in the Quora question for this.

I bet that, if you're willing to engage in criminal activities, there are probably much better ROIs you could obtain with such an investment....

I totally agree with you on a moral side. Criminal activities are a bad thing, and Bitcoin is an effort to liberate people from criminal-like monopolies. Unfortunately I think there will always be a country in the world where hacking Bitcoin is not considered illegal. On the other hand, I fear that Bitcoin will soon be rendered illegal in many countries.
