Yeah, at this point I don't think it's clear that that was even cloudbet's account that requested the 5BTC.  If it is, please direct me to that info.  People are saying to wait until tomorrow for cloudbet to respond to this--I assume there are no reps available on the weekend or whatever.  If it turns out that it was them, they're sure to get tons of red.

That said, if it's doubtful that the identity of the extortionist is known with certainty, making a suggestion to bargain with them and pay a smaller amount (and some to Rambotnic) is horrible advice if not completely scammy on Rambotnic's part.  We'll see what cloudbet has to say about it, I guess.
