You wouldn't be violating a protocol by sending it back. The person who sent it to you also wasn't violating any protocol.
Ultimate respect for decency and earned wealth should be the only protocol we care about. There's plenty of wealth for everyone to earn from now until the end of time.
Keep shaming me with your made up morals while I laugh from my citadel feeling 10BTC richer.
Imagine going thru life asking, "did I earn this?" What a waste of thought!
Respecting the protocol means understanding the consequences of every interaction.
If a thief gets away with it, they earned it. The onus is on society/network/protocol to catch them. And on the individuals to avoid becoming a victim.

They're not my made up morals, they're what set our species apart from the bottom feeders. They're a technology, not someone else's zero-sum thinking and shackles solution, which is what we bitcoiners are ultimately trying to move away from.
The only thing the thief has earned is a false sense of accomplishment and unless they divert all of their loot to personal security, they'll end up a victim of another thief or their own stupidity. They'll get theirs one way or another, just like the mooching fucktards in government.
