white hat hacker says: "Please fix the bug first. The chain is under risk at latest commit right now. Make sure every node is patched. Then we will transfer the money back safely after confirming the fix. The detail is as follows (encrypted using https://blockstream.com/pgp.txt)."

This doesn't sound good to me. Why bother asking if they want it send back to the address if you are going to say you can't send it back to the address until they fix something? Feels like stringing along.

Looks like the "Yes, Thank you." Was reply to this.

I think the "Yes, thank you" is a reply to first message. Just confirmed in same block as hacker's new message.

Samson Now describes it like this:

8:27 PM PDT - WHH: "Please fix the bug first. The chain is under risk at latest commit right now. Make sure every node is patched. Then we will transfer the money back safely after confirming the fix." [+ PGP-encrypted details to Blockstream]

8:30 PM PDT - Blockstream: "Yes, thank you." (PGP-signed; answers the 7:20 question, not the 8:27 one — confirmed in the same block)

It's good that at least they are communicating which means they are probably genuine whitehaters.

I highly suspect there's some insider or former employee did this. Why did blockstream even think they woul talk over email?

And now asking to reconfirm address:

And now it looks like they are only communicating in encrypted messages.

At least talking.
I'm hopeful they get downplayed by the whitehat gentleman.

And then the Lbtc shop drowns for good.
