For all the people shouting "Way to go!" and "The money is his!" I think you should remember he's currently a fugitive, and would need to spend the rest of his life living this way.
If that's what it takes to live the "code is law" dream, count me out.
- silentsea90 4y agoI like the very web3 middle ground where the attacker negotiates with the company and returns a part of the money, the rest being the lawful reward for reporting the vulnerability.
- knorker 4y agoDo you mean "like" as in you're amused by it's absolute absurdity, or that you think this is a good standard practice?
- silentsea90 4y agoSorry, I should make it clear - it is very very absurd. Can't edit comments after some time sadly.
- silentsea90 4y agoTo make my stance very clear - this is an absurd and hilarious practice and feels similar to ransom, with the hacked entity putting "white hat hackery" on the table as an option to get some of their money back.

Seems like he was relying on maintaining anonymity and now that that’s out the window his family is on real danger. $16-17 million is a lot of dough and it would cost a lot less than that to hire some kidnapping & ransom specialists to visit his family.
