LOL well at least we agree on something...that it probably shouldn't happen again...but that doesn't mean it won't.
The precedent as been set. Good luck in the future with other scams/hacks/losses that are VRC-related.
Current events form future trends. Now we can see where the trend is headed.
A singular 'event' does not show a trend. Let's see this situation happen a second time and what may happen. A dev himself is already speaking out against centralized exchanges (

https://twitter.com/pnosker/status/488760442261889025 ). So yeah, if this happens again, I guess that is where we will see if this lucky situation is actually a trend starting of rollbacks, which I don't think is logically possible as the more coins are used/exchanged and more users effected.
So 2 devs speaking out about centralization, yet they basically centralize? I really wouldn't call this a "lucky situation", you were just first and will get away with it or not.
