BTW, I'd like to add that his use of the word "exploit" is completely dishonest here. There is no actual exploit as in funds being stolen, or malicious remote code execution happening on nodes, nodes crashing.
It's just something he doesn't like, so he misues words, not unlike the US Government calling "terrorism" anything they want to crack down hard.
I really have no dog in this fight but I if like @supertestnet says there is a bug (and this is the first time I'm seeing anyone say its a bug) then someone is exploiting it. An exploit has nothing to do with funds or even remote code execution. It can be that but it also can just be a bug in software that someone is able to exploit to a do something that wasn't intended.
The question is, is this a bug. Not is this an exploit. If it is a bug, then it is an exploit of the bug.

What's being illustrated here is that even the term "bug" is a matter of sociological convention. Bug with respect to whose intentions? is the question.
From Luke's perspective, it's a bug. From other points of view, it isn't. From a legal point of view, In the USA, corporations have many of the same rights as people. Is that a bug? Depends on who you ask.

Fair.
