> Example: Contact Trump's kids. Demonstrate your power. Tell them you'll make Joe Biden tweet "8 year old girl nude hair" at a time of their choosing, in exchange for 5 million BTC held in escrow. This doesn't require anything more than knowing that Trump is rich and corrupt and that Biden is his opponent. And then you get tracked down and killed by a three-letter agency. I think people underestimate how risk-free receiving small amounts of btc from random schmucks is, and how risk-averse these hackers may be.

And I agree with this statement in most cases, but not in this particular one. The wide spread and super high profile nature of this attack makes it a high risk play no matter what. Being cautious when it comes time to collecting the loot seems like too little too late for them to get away easily.
