The whole point of wire transfers is traceability. The banks can watch it very closely. I've been able to reverse wire transfers the next day, with a back-date (ie. pretend it never happened). However, author seems to know wire transfers as well as she knows internet security - which is not very well. You can trace the wire into the destination account, but if that person moves it immediately and eventually withdraws it out of the banking system, then it's gone. The hacker wouldn't release the domain unless they had control of the funds. I doubt her claims that the hacker doesn't have the money.
