Aren't there quite a few cases already where attackers stealing funds from smart contracts were considered just that: thieves. And where their "code is law" defense didn't amuse the judge?

IIRC we recently even saw two sent to jail for manipulating smart contract prices: it's not even clear they used a bug in a smart contract.

I already posted it but Uncle Sam cannot have it both ways: if Uncle Sam asks people making money with cryptocurrencies to pay taxes, Uncle Sam goes after those who steal from the taxpayers. And... Oh boy, does Uncle Sam tax gains.
