In a hypothetical, if the two did not breach Bitfinex servers (unauthorized access to others systems) but instead managed to "guess" the private key to the Bitfinex wallet and transfer the funds, would this also be a crime?

Would this be treated the same way?

I can't see how they can get away from it not being theft. No durable argument could be made in court they thought it was there to take, there is no way they didn't know it was someone else's property.
