Where are they going to get a million bitcoins to pay for these tools? Even if they did collect these coins, who says the tools are not some Trojan horse exercise to catch some hackers? Is there any

other source for this information, other than this article? If this is true and the wrong group of people gets their hands on these tools, we will all be in for a rough ride.... Most services and exchanges

can be compromised and people can re-direct this money to fund terrorism activities.  Roll Eyes

It's just a troll attempt, or they are out to scam potential buyers. Having that said, them asking for a million coins makes it very much look like an ordinary troll attempt. If they were really serious, they would have asked for a much lower coin count.

WikiLeaks have it all and are gonna release it. I guess this was an attempt to get some free money and why not? it woulda been a riot if they'd received any.
