"They wanted to stop [us] finding them out,” the group told CoinTelegraph, claiming that the mining company offered them 100 BTC “to stop trying to get to HashOcean.”
The email was sent by a “HashOcean representative” via the deep web using a self destruct module that deletes after three seconds."
This is really interesting, if scammers from Hashocean offered bribe to stop Kypertech Hackers from uncovering their whereabouts then they must be really worried.
I don't believe that people who invested in Hashocean will ever see any refunds but this is unexpected twist. I wonder if they really can track them down somehow.
At first I was interested to see how it will go and if these Kypertech guys are for real, for one moment I believed so. But then I came back to reality , there is not much any hacker can do from a backdoor of a domain name. Also it is very suspicious how they found out the location of the data centers, did they maybe fly to all of these places indicated on the google map and searched around ? I don't think so. What adds more doubt to the story is that the owner of Hashocean after scamming in a perfect way is such a naive person that have send this group an email asking them to stop tracing him. Bitcoin is pseudo anonymous but if you know what you are doing you can make it anonymous,truly anonymous. Taken bitcoins are on a wallet which must be a really well secured one, as someone else have said in other threads should be a hardware wallet. They can use mixer services in order to mix the bitcoins and separate them into different wallets. This group is only offering vain talk and false hope. Nothing can be done unfortunately to get your money back.
People only need to learn from this website and raise self awareness to not invest in such sites.
