- lolc 8y agoThe attack itself is legal. Sure you will cause some property damage if you split and roll back an hour worth of transactions. People might try and bring a civil suit against you. That would be interesting. Of course, if you try to double-spend as part of the attack: it's fraud!
- stale2002 8y agoThe one where you stole people's money. The court system isn't run by idiots who will just shrug their shoulders because you thought you found a loophole. They would instead laugh at your "clever" loophole and throw you in a cell. Your legal defense has to convince a judge and jury. You are not going to be able to do that.
