A white hat hacker group tied to the Liquid exploit incident has accused Blockstream of spending only $1.5 million, or possibly no money at all, to secure assets worth $5 billion, according to monitoring cited by Bitcoin News. In a new on-chain message, the group said Blockstream should use its own funds to pay a bug bounty equal to 10% of the assets involved. It also warned that if Blockstream refuses to pay, holders would face a 15% loss. The group added that it plans to release the private key needed to decrypt earlier conversations with Blockstream. Previously, the group returned 3,400 BTC to the Liquid Federation, while about 600 BTC remain outstanding.
