Yes, fine prints are an insurance for corporates and can't make much damage to them through legal means. Users are at their mercy. However, the magnitude of this scam was not much as only less than 15 bitcoins were siphoned off some 300 users. But global media has blown this news a little out of proportion probably because of inclusion of some big names like Twitter, Bitcoin and blue checkmark Tweeple.

Thanks for reading and appreciating it!
