It looks like the hacker took funds, sent to address they control... then blockstream sent them another 1000 sats asking they initiate contact. 

Looks bad.

Something isn't making sense in my grug brain though:

This is the Liquid federation wallet address listed on Liquid's explorer:

If you check it out on mempool.space it shows that there is a transaction spending out of it to a new address:

Now there is a new transaction at this address with OP_RETURN "please contact security@blockstream"

Did the original transaction spend funds back into the liquid federation?
