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?

If a bank accidentally leaves a sack of cash on the sidewalk and you take it, it is not yours. Plus they didn't declare any of the money and instead laundered it through a bunch of sham companies and fraudulent users on crypto exchanges.

Even if the bank accidentally put the money in your bank account and it’s reasonable to believe that it’s not yours, you can be held liable if you spend it or withhold it from the bank.
