Wait, are you saying that there is recourse for reversing blockchain transactions?

There's no result in court. So what's the recourse now at this moment ?

Additionally, they were lucky they could find the 16 yr old kid, otherwise they wouldn't known in which jurisdiction to sue :)

Welcome to the decentralized world!

Sorry, not following. The recourse I was referring to was a fork and modification of the transactions in question.
