Interesting that the ransom BTC address is not new, it has been used before. https://blockchain.info/address/13UZjKkhHWyTmQ4mx28WT5Wj1zw4pEByZw

That may be useful.

The courteous thief/hacker made an account and posted on the Nxt forum.

Okay, Guys - Let me apologise - but the deal is off.

I'm not going to stay here for hours waiting for him to send the bitcoins. I been almost hour since the first batch of NXT was sent to him, I'm not going to stay hours waiting for his send batch of his bitcoins.

I got  things to do, than sit around and wait.

Lets see if the one exchanges lack of impenitence will ruin whole NXT community.

Good luck, all!

Moments later, BTER sent him 20BTC.

Why did Bter send 20 BTC after this?

I don't think the details about the hacker are correct. Very likely those are stolen too.

Thief: This is taking too long. I dont have all night.

... only in bitcoin land
Geez, this guy has other exchanges to rob. Don't waste his precious time.

rofl. That is too funny man.

From the hacker: "Lin used same password for 90% of his services including his linode account."

After BTER made the first installment, the thief sent over 5m NXT.
Then BTER asked them to send the second batch of 5m before they continue to make payment and waited.
The thief called their bluff and threatened to break nego and leave. BTER rushed off another 20BTC, but as of now, the thief's wallet balance remains at 46m.

Someone is trying to hijack the deal!

You're selling NXT back to BTER at 0.000002 btc per nxt. I'll buy them for 0.000003 btc per nxt. That's 50% more for holding all the risk of being forked myself while you have safe BTC. I got BTC ready to send instantly. Thank you very much!

Negotiations on blockchain - the future of collecting ransom

Surprised Bter had such lazy security in the first place.

This is actually pretty freaking awesome to watch.

Now let me go grab some popcorn.

It looks like the hacker may have just exploited a weakness in his account security, not BTER itself. 90% of passwords the same? Ugh, password managers, please!

Really interested to see how this turns out.

This is BTER's explanation.

It's going to get better, I think. 110BTC in the thief's account now. I don't know where the extra 10 came from - and even if the 70BTC came from BTER.

Meanwhile, the NXT remains unmoved: https://nxtblocks.info/#section/accountId/NXT-8WJ7-8A2H-MBYN-3W9K4

A second hijacker just appeared: https://nxtblocks.info/#section/txid/16127013390623010298

I'll pay 0.000004 btc per nxt. That's double what's BTER is paying. You may sell as much as you want. 1 nxt or all 45m it's up to you. I got the btc ready. You'll be left safe btc and I'll hold risk of forking. Please reply me anyway thank you
