A list of compromises or exploits isn't a source for the claim that there aren't legal repercussions or avenues of recourse that could be pursued.


Most hackers can't even be found, since it goes to tornado Cash and owners are clueless or it's an intern job.

So plenty of examples on that site.

What would the recourse be if none of the malicious actors can be found? ( In almost all cases).


Wait, are you saying that there is recourse for reversing blockchain transactions?


See the DAO hack for precedent.


There's no result in court. So what's the recourse now at this moment ?

Additionally, they were lucky they could find the 16 yr old kid, otherwise they wouldn't known in which jurisdiction to sue :)

Welcome to the decentralized world!


Sorry, not following. The recourse I was referring to was a fork and modification of the transactions in question.


Okay, part of the subject was "legal repercussions" and i thought it was related to that.
