This story is only ~3 months lol. I think the moral of the story is to not attempt to blackmail people that have the resources to put out a reward/bounty to find the person doing the blackmailing.
I am really not sure why the kid thought he was going to get "whacked" (killed) as this was not at all implied, and the bounty clearly said the reward would only be payable in the event of the conviction (and obviously the arrest) of the perpetrator.
IIRC Ver said that the person who hacked Satashi's email seemed to be very similar to the person who hacked his domain
