The fact that the additional funds should be returned is irrefutable.

By your logic, Zen should refund anyone who gets a hosp/jail combo for any stims used or AP used in busting out of jail.

Or, you could argue she should implement a periodic check (slowing the system) to ensure that no one is in 2 logically excluded states (dual mug/jail/hosp) at any given point in time. But what is the order of precedence? Should the highest mug win, or the highest hosp time? Does jail take precedence over the hospital?
All of these are rules that could have been implemented in the code but haven't.

The last statement is hardly irrefutable. The mug code clearly (from the results we see) looks something like:

After combat is resolved, if mug is successful give the mugging player x% of the cash on hand.
It is easy to be more specific by reducing the general case to the specific case:
After combat is resolved, if mug is successful give each mugging player x% of cash on hand.
It just happens that in nearly every case the # of mugging players=1.

When multiple players are tick hunting, it is possible to for multiple 'successful muggers' to show up in the same dark alley and demand their share.
