Depends what your aim is, and how long your time horizon is. You might feel better today but when new information comes out showing the mob was wrong, that's the kind of guilt that can lead you to a very dark place.

by its nature the mob action being right or wrong is akin to a dice roll.
My point here is that it happens time and time again - people do revolution, be it real bloody one like French or Russian or just a tech one like crypto, and from the very beginning dispense with the old mature system and replace it with what they see as a very efficient new one - like the "emergency committee" system of Russian revolution which was able to quickly execute millions of "counter-revolutionaries" - yet with time the system again matures into what is perceived as a very inefficient one.
Lynching/mob justice is much more efficient than lawyers and courts, and that is what comes to mind seeing how the crypto reacts.
