A very self-righteous hacker.
I'm surprised the hacker thinks this is a viable way to proceed.
Steal some funds if that is what you are going to do, but this kind of "negotiation" is clearly never going to lead to some sort of consensual ending. Hacker has an ego?
Or it is some kind of personal beef.
if they think the FBI isn’t watching this convo like a hawk they’re also delusional. the longer it goes on, the more it helps them find them. the FBI would absolutely reject paying the ransom.
I've been thinking extensively about this the past few days: if you're a fully compliant custodian and someone is holding your AUC (of this amount) hostage, when to talk to the feds? And I think the only possible answer would be: after you called legal as they will hang up on you to call the feds.
they should upload a jpeg in response
I guess not indeed. They're declining a $1.5M bounty, which would be a top 10 (3?) all-time bounty payout across everything that ever was coded in the history of mankind. 10% makes it the top1 by 3.2x, because currently the biggest bounty ever was $10M for a responsibly disclosed wormhole vuln.
That refers to them not having received it yet? I wouldn't pay squat to anyone holding 15% of funds hostage either.
As little as 3 months ago my former security list got blackmailed for 500k USDC including ethereum address. And that was one of countless. So I guess I am biased.
The hacker is afraid that they won't pay him the bounty if he releases he remaining coins.
1.5 million for 5 billion assets is kinda 0 in hacker's eyes. Because he isn't sure...maybe the blockstream guys indicated something to him with disrespect.
Hacker must be from India?
100% this is the interpretation
"I'm a whitehat"
"You are going to pay 10%"
lmao
