Theymos should be the one to do it and forward that email he got
I'm probably not going to do that. Responding to a clearly fake threat with violence (via police/government) strikes me as wrong and excessive, especially when it's just some stupid kid.
He hasn't caused much harm as of yet. He didn't steal any bitcoins or release any sensitive info. (The screenshots didn't contain any useful info.) The worst he's done is convince some people to send him a little money. I advise restraint, especially since we don't know for sure whether this guy actually is the hacker. I haven't seen much evidence of that.
Can I ask, why did you email him in the first place?
This is what he emailed to theymos. Doesn't matter if it's a stupid kid. Everyone needs to learn their lesson sometime. It's better if the retaliation comes from someone with the same demeanor as theymos (who is unlikely to pursue it very far) to teach him a lesson, rather than letting him shit talk the wrong people a year from now and get himself seriously harmed. Extortion and threats are not ok (especially from such a high profile situation), no matter your age or intentions
