If not for some fortunate historical luck it could only decide this wrongly, since but for some fortuitous turns we'd be forced to lose due to being unable to afford the defense. You can easily replay this situation with different defendants or a different situation and get that outcome. If not for the impossibility of the requested remedy (and the fact that plaintiffs was never to be win)-- I don't see why it wouldn't just be rational for us to collude with the plaintiff and throw the case in exchange for, say, half the windfall. Fortunately for Bitcoin users the system is designed in a way to preclude that possibility, but not so fortunately for us. > If I claim it's the fault of the bank? Of course you can. At no point has the plaintiff alleged that the loss is our fault.
