This underscores why Vitalik Buterin is making bad decisions.

It was his idea to fork the coin, to "rewind" and take the funds back.

The DAO "hack" was a smart contract -- using Vitalik's language, to transfer funds to someone. Their rule - "code is law" only applies if Vitalik thinks it does, apparently.

By offering a turing-complete language and then rescinding the ability of someone to create a contract with the very same rules just shows the shaky foundations of ETH.

Their transfer over to "Proof of Stake" will prove to be equally disasterous. I caution anyone using this beyond daytrading scalps to reconsider it as an "investment", since it has such shaky ethics behind it.
