....They are acting like modern day crypto Robin Hood sending 0.88 BTC to both of the charities.

It looks like the hackers are only trolling or looking for fame. Although 0.88 BTC [$10,000] is a big amount to most, it's nothing to how much they have extorted from companies they attacked. They could have used a mixer too and not announce that they sent it to a charitable organization if they were serious.

A donation is still a donation imo, whether it be for the purpose of fame or fun. Let's be real, how many politicians actually donate out of the kindness of their hearts right? That's why it's probably stupid to judge a donation based on what the motives are, a donation is still a donation imo, which can still prove to be helpful for those that are in need.

Wut? You must have seen too many movies of guys robbing banks while killing people and giving a portion of the money to the innocent poor and thought it was cool hehe. I can't think of other reasons why you'd see the act as "helpful" even though you knew it was stolen and someone else has to suffer or already suffering because of the "donor". They don't get a pass just because dirty politicians are also doing it for fame.

Vigilante justice is never needed and unnecessary but is definitely appreciated. There are certain instances where violence will be the last resort. Nevertheless, if it's from bitcoin where a lot of innocent people trade, I'm not so sure this can be justified as you're basically stealing from a poor to give it to another poor.
