 Are there documented cases of a lightning node attempting to steal funds during a force close?

 I did once... Not really on purpose... Out of incompetence... And I paid the price.

I guess it's documented here: https://youtu.be/4w25Je1sfAE?feature=shared

 IDK - but some miners made out like bandits on quite a few force close fees. 💀

 I've heard this for 3 and 1/2 years that this can happen but I've never actually seen a documented case of this happening.

 I thought the protocol was supposed to deal with that otherwise no one would use it

 It's why we use watchtowers, to watch the funds in our channels when our node is offline so that a channel partner doesn't push an incorrect channel state and the to force close the channel on us. But not everyone runs a watchtower. Most people don't I'd wager.
