Consider A wants to send some funds to E.

They don’t have a direct payment channel among them. So, they use a following 
path A-B-C-D-E. A is the sender of payment and E is final recipient.

E sends the hash of a secret r to A, A passes on the hash to B, B to C, C to D, 
and D to E.

E discloses the secret to C (a partner in crime with E) and E do not respond to 
D. C gives the secret to B (settling the HTLC between them). Then, B gives the 
secret to A (settling the HTLC between them).

A sent (and lost) the money, as E denies receiving the money (and the promised 
service/good).

How the lightening network sees this? Out of their control?
