So you have a case like this: the funds were moved with the private key. 24 hours after the owner comes and says: ‘I didn’t do that! Someone else must have copied my key and made that transaction!’

How does the exchange handle that? What’s the dispute mechanism?

It's the exchange's own key that is thought to be compromised, not one of their customers'.
