What an excellent example of Nicholas Naseem Taleb's concept of antifragility.

It's evolution. Survival of the fittest, quite simply. The weakest are taken down, leaving more customers for the remaining, stronger competitors.
It's a rubbish example. The DNMs do not get better thanks to exit scams and takedowns. They get worse, as sensible and experienced administrators depart with a fortune, to be replaced by mendacious incompetents. Nor is the technical side of things any better - they have, if anything, regressed technically on the issue of multisig.
