Side note for this false flag. Why would anyone use BTC for ransoms? Use a privacy token. Also between elon, trump, this, and biden with the irs it almost seems like a coordinated attack on crypto.

In summary, the Feds did not do anything unique or extraordinary, the "hackers" that claim to have stolen $90 million in previous attacks over the last year chose to place their wallet on a California custodian server instead of spending $200 on a crypto cold storage wallet that they could keep in their possession. Makes perfect sense, lucky break for the Feds.
