You make a good point.

Lets say you are miner and you are faced with two choices resulting from the stolen Satoshi coins being dumped on the market:

1. vote to blacklist the stolen Satoshi coins and prevent a collapse in the value of Bitcoin (short term benefit, possible long term loss).

2. or don't blacklist the coins and avoid setting a precedent which hurts Bitcoin (short term loss, possible long term benefit),

Not an easy choice, I can see arguments for both positions.
