Children International replied that they will not be keeping received Bitcoin if it is connected to hackers.
What are they going to do? Send them Bitcoin back or what send it to police Smiley

They will probably send the donated Bitcoin to the proper authorities. If they believed the same is really obtained illegally, it is absurd to give them back to the criminals. However, I doubt the stolen Bitcoin would still end up to their rightful owners even if it is turned over to the police. The amount is but a very tiny portion of what was probably stolen.

Personally, I would think it is better for this tiny amount to just serve a better purpose such as charitable works. But, of course, huge charitable institutions such as Children International wouldn't risk their reputation over 0.88BTC
