Highly unlikely. No reputable hacker would give up their private keys so easily.

It's good that the Dept. of Justice has recovered at least some of the money that was used in this evil act of cyber terrorism.

The guy who has two guesses left before he loses $220 millions in his bitcoin wallet better go to the FBI office and ask for help for a 50/50 split with Ucle Sam. Better that than nothing.

"Russian" Haxxor smart enough to pull of the hack, but dumb enough to exchange in the US? Nah bro, lame story.

So after so many weeks the ransom $ still sitting in the same account? Smells fishy

Getting some of the money back that you willingly paid to terrorists is not a win. You paid them this money, they still won.

All this means is that the hack came from with in the United States since it was the N.S.A who created bitcon in first place

How nice of us. Tax-payer $$ used to recover money stolen from a multi-billion $ company who pays NO taxes. All bc they left their door unlocked for int'l thieves to drive a cyber-semi through. I don't recall the US gov't sparing resources to find the dude who robbed me in a Moscow train station. If only I had lobbyists...

Yeah it was the Russian who left the bitcon account in the United States 🇺🇸 company.

It’s funny because the main story was Cryptocurrency could never be hacked without the key code and I knew it was too good to be true if the FBI hacked a cryptocurrency account
