Except it's not, really, because a judge who's unhappy at it isn't going to care about "the code is the law" talk. They're just going to tell people to fix it or else, and all being in another country usually means is that the asset seizures will take longer.

>because a judge who's unhappy at it isn't going to care about "the code is the law" talk.

in my experience if you ever tried to tell a judge the code is the law you will be in for a world of hurt. Hope they don't read about it elsewhere either.

on edit: obviously in agreement with parent, just noting that the very concept of the code is the law introduced to a judge is going to elicit some very negative reactions.

How are they practically going to find the defendant? On a public blockchain, you can't always put a name or face to an address. The tokens in question can change hands many times and make it hard to trace identity.

Most criminals aren't masterminds, they are easy to find.

"Fix it or else" eerily sounds like an incompetent project manager.
