I'm actually really interested in what they're going to say at the press conference later about how they "seized" the ransom.
I'm sure we're not going to see the detailed version, so most likely they'll give bits of information with a lot of missing parts to cover their tracks.
My hunch is that there was indeed a cooperating exchange.
In case the hackers sent the coins to an exchange wallet and the exchange handed them over to the FBI, then I would say that the hackers have acted in an idiotic manner.
@JordanSchachtel has posted a lot of interesting tweets recently and in one of them he mentions being a "
Coinbase wallet".
- I'm still not sure which one is the real reason...If the authorities can now get the money back its a huge step.
That's not always the case
[unfortunately].
