Lets just see what happens now , but I am 100% not paying ! If I lose 10.5 BTC its not the end of the world. Even tho just 10K is alot of money to me. People need to learn that BTC crime wont pay.
You are in a really shitty situation, I do not know how I would react. as I have already told you: I also talked to them and I do not think that's scam.
I also offered to send him 0.35BTC (
Of course I would not have sent it to him, I just wanted to see how he reacted) but he refused with the same explanation he give you, everything is automated.
No idea, if all was fraud, he would have safely accepted the 0.35BTC.
I hope for you that you still find someone who can crack that - but unfortunately I see little to no chance.
