The question is, whens the dump?

edited to add: oh, there's only 1000 xmr earned so far.

And why the address is blurred out is beyond me. Maybe that wasn't by the AV company but from someone else.

You assume this particular black hat is smart enough to design a Linux malware (impressive AF already) and have it mine Monero of all things vs more profitable coins (means he/she/ze knows exactly what makes Monero superior) and yet has no faith in Monero as a long term store of value.

I find that unlikely.

Dude, there aren't any other CPU-mineable profitable coins.... are there?

Both of your arguments might be beside the point. Bitcoin is the least risky crypto to hold onto right now, and I certainly wouldn't fault this individual for converting the XMR to XBT. Plenty of crypto experts are aware of Monero's advantages in privacy tech, but that doesn't mean they're betting on Monero's future.
