Bitcoin News said in a post on X that Samson Mow commented on the handling of stolen funds tied to Liquid. According to Mow, Blockstream has refused to pay a ransom, though he did not rule out the possibility of offering a bounty if the hacker returns the remaining stolen assets. Mow said the funds belong to Liquid users, which means Blockstream cannot negotiate over that money. He added that any bounty, if offered, would need to be structured as a separate and reasonable arrangement rather than as part of ransom talks. The remarks frame Blockstream’s position as a refusal to negotiate directly over user-owned assets while leaving open a distinct path tied to the return of the remaining funds.
