Bot Owner Now Claims Theft After User Tricks Bot into Handing Over 800 ETH

So we've read what happened some days ago but missed a tiny detail I'd like to discuss…

In a twist of events, the bot owner, known as elizab.eth, responded to Chang's post claiming the funds were STOLEN but offered a 10% bounty if the funds were returned.

I'm inclined to think that the bot owner's poor programming should not obligate the trader to return the funds, while I've read that some people are saying that the bot owner might have legal claims to get their ETH back. What if, instead of being a faulty bot, you accidentally send 800 ETH to the wrong address? There's no way to reclaim anything back in such a scenario. Thoughts?
