Darkside Hackers donating Bitcoins

[dificanovi]

why should it be announced, like there is a fraud about this incident. i don't know what's the point in telling everyone about hackers donating 0.88 BTC. If a hacker wanted to donate to a charity I don't think they would tell everyone that the bitcoins they donated came from stealing other people's bitcoins.

I do not believe that these charities can return the bitcoin that this Robin Hood sent.
If the intention of the group of hackers was to extort companies that earn a lot of money and do not share some of their profits with the charities. This is not the best way to act. I also disagree with any illicit activity. Why claim authorship of donations? Another unsuccessful hacker activity, I hope the funds reach those most in need.

If they take donations they must have a wallet access or do it directly through a processor that exchanges it and sends them the money. In first case they can return it without problems, in the second they'd have to buy bitcoin first, which would generate losses for them now that the price went up a lot.
The hackers probably hope that the charities don't hold coins but immediately sell them for fiat and the stolen coins will get mixed with "clean" coins. It's their way of saying "we're still here" to the world.

Read the source for full information report

let us not fall from this trap,I'm sure they are using the good image to hide their real motive and that is to hack more and pretend that they are the good guy here.

Just like robinhood,even How good His motive was yet what He is doing is wrong in the eye of Government and in the Eye of Good people.

Anyway they wanted to be in trend lol.

There are reports that new hackers group called Darkside donated some of the stolen Bitcoins to charity organisation like Children International and The Water Project after they reportedly stole millions of dollars worth Bitcoins.
They are acting like modern day crypto Robin Hood sending 0.88 BTC to both of the charities.

Modern day Robin Hood huh. Nah, I will nit buy it. It is clear here that they did something wrong and doing a little bit good won't change it. For me they are just trying to lessen the guilt they are feeling after stealing millions of money that's why they are donating.

It only proves that they are really new in the business of doing evil lol because if they are not then they will not do such thing at all, isn't it? Greed is not yet eating their whole personality. And on that being said, I do believe that they still have chance for a change.

I can't believe how the main creator of this article assumes that the donations came from the group "Darkside Hackers". Because in the first place, these hackers will not transact using the address where they first sent the hacked bitcoins before, they will use mixers to already mix the bitcoins and send it to their own address. The only reason this could be possible is when these hackers' intention in the very beginning is to donate to charities. But if the hacking incidents took place way back years ago. I can't believe this story. No one would ever donate too much of bitcoins especially today, as it has way better value than before.

People who have huge holdings of wealth can donate millions of dollars to a charity.  Donating on that amount of Bitcoin is just dusts compared to what I stated.  If you read the article, it is just a small amount in proportion to the amount they had hacked. 

If you believe that Bitcoin is traceable then you should believe that the addressed used by the hacker is probably tagged thus the writer of article can trace those addresses.  I think that those donations are just for show.

more then likely just for a show by these Darkside hackers. from the article mentioned by the OP, it says that the gang posted this receipt on the dark web. so I dont think debonaire read the article.



the hackers themselves exposed their transactions to these 2 charities. so maybe gaining attention from the community. because that amount is really dust compared to what they stolen. they created blog for this particular "charitable transaction"
curious how those institutions will send back the funds??? or better use it for good purposes instead
