Been thinking about this one. Let's make it more akin to the slavery reparations issue:

Man earns one million dollars from a bank in a completely legal manner.

100 years later, a new law is passed that makes doing what the man did to earn the money illegal.

Should the bank expect a refund from the man's grandson?
