If you set up an online marketplace and thieves come in and siphon your money away.. they should get to keep it, because “finders keepers”?

  Because you sent them the cryptos on a voluntary basis. If you made an error, you can nicely ask them back, but they can nicely refuse. There is no notion of property, who owns the keys owns the management of the coins

    That is just your opinion. >If you made an error, you can nicely ask them back, but they can nicely refuse. How can you not see that "nicely" refusing is against the law after you have been prosecuted? You might argue that if someone sends you money you don't want, you only have to send it back once they get a warrant by a court but that isn't the problem here.

      Mistakes happen

        Of course mistakes happen .. but if you're making voluntary mistakes .. then you've got bigger problems than what we are discussing here.

          If you can always decide a posteriori your actions were not voluntary then there is no definition of voluntary
