I don't know what point you are trying to make, but you better not be suggesting that crypto users are scummy mouth breathers willing to take advantage of any accident that might make them richer.

lol! The beauty of irreversible transactions! Cryptos are so retarded.
There were reversible in their system and they reversed some. The same as in banking. What's is bad is the anonymity.
The article says that some people had time to withdraw... good luck getting these back!
Plenty stories about people accidentally getting large sums deposited into their banks, and spending that on goods, or transferring it out of the country before they were noticed and could be reversed.
Those people tend to get caught because of the lack of anonymity. I'm not a fan of anonymity in crypto, I think it mostly serves to help wrongdoers. Regulation of the crypto space will help with this, tying crypto addresses to people the same way bank account numbers are.
