What happens to people/exchanges that had already accepted stolen cryptocoin after such "justice forks"?

In that new valid blockchain, the transaction where they were given that coin will simply not be there.

I'm not 100% sure but I think that anyone can re-submit the "undone" transaction to the new blockchain, as long as the source address hasn't already spent its balance on the new chain? Isn't this what's called a "replay"?
