It seems like the law is never on the domainers side be it being a victim of buying a stolen name or being reverse hijacked.

No. If you buy a stolen name, you can certainly sue the guy who sold it to you. But if you don't know who it is, then that's not anyone else's problem.
Interesting that you left out the victim of the hi-jacking in the first place.
It is not a question of whether or not the law is "on your side". It is perfectly well "on your side" if you want to recover the money you paid to the guy who sold it to you.
The buyer here could sue "John Doe", and then subpoena the information from Escrow.com, and then subpoena information from the bank (if it is in a country where that would work, which is unlikely).
But recognizing the difficulties that you might encounter when a deal goes bad is the entire reason why normal people in any other business don't enter into $10K transactions as if they were bumming a cigarette from a stranger on the sidewalk.
