Yeah, potentially bankrupt an exchange and put them out of business over a technical error...that'll teach 'em.

Just fyi, even if people were able to remove their funds, these exchanges do have Terms of Service that people consent to before using the exchanges. You know those things that people often do not read that talk about things like how they can pursue system errors, typographical mistakes, etc...

No matter what your opinion is on the situation, just because you are able to remove funds does not mean that they exchange does not have legal grounds to come after you for the funds.

I guess they will have to see how much funds were removed, and whether it is worth it for them to pursue those funds, or just close the accounts.
