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?

Knowing the key doesn't immediately mean that your access is authorized. This isn't equivalent to finding a $20 bill on the ground so there's not really any corollary to stumbling across it.
