It's def. difficult to think about this... I personally don't understand why karma would be the only reason to return the money.

When I read an article, my first thought actually was  "Would I do the same?" I like to think I would.

two things: drinking with friends and playing Nintendo Switch

Once I gave back a wallet (was not empty, just to be clear )... I don't know, I think I would return the money.

Kudos to this guy for doing it.

It's really strange... since there were no official reports about any ransom payments.  Not sure what to think, hopefully, he will be found alive, though as the time passes it will be difficult for the family to keep their hopes up.

Hmm... serious process of legalization and regulation of the gambling markets started relatively recently, so no wonder that some sportsbooks/casinos had no licence and could work like that. And nowadays, even though they all can cheat players, I still prefer to play at licensed casinos/sportsbooks.

Well, it is risky to act like than in any part of the world, who knows whom you might annoy. And no bodyguards? that's a bit reckless, don't you think? Now, if it was someone in the family... that's another thing.

I can just hope that the Costa Rica's police will do the job, and that the kidnappers will be found. But really awful news... A few things confuses me, if family agreed to pay, why was he killed? Did the kidnappers receive the money? I guess they had no intention of letting him go....  perhaps it would be possible to track down the transaction, if there was any transaction done at all.

I'm kind of new to Bitcoin, and I got to say that Satoshi Nakamoto definitively deserves to be at the top of the list.
