These "smart contracts" are utterly new constructs and at this point I think it is fair that someone rudely exploited the system and is now playing "finders keepers". In some sense it is a much-needed learning exercise. Hopefully no single person lost anything more that whatever they're willing to part with in a very-high-risk thrill investment. As far as contracts and fairness goes, Judges DO TAKE fairness into consideration ALL THE TIME. If these smart contracts ever make it mainstream (and that's a big IF), gaming the system through loopholes won't be a sure-thing regardless of how much "pure logic" (smirk) is involved.
