According to Wu Blockchain, Blockstream tweeted that it will not pay a ransom to recover the stolen Bitcoin from the Liquid Network. They stated that obtaining assets without authorization and refusing to return them constitutes theft, not responsible disclosure or white-hat behavior. Blockstream mentioned that they have been working through communication channels to recover user funds but will not accept such actions or demands, nor will they allow open-source software developers to bear ransom costs far exceeding their economic involvement. Blockstream emphasized that if the stolen funds are not returned, they will collaborate with law enforcement agencies, exchanges, service providers, and forensic experts to track, recover the assets, and identify those responsible through all legal means. They also highlighted Bitcoin’s transparency in transactions, noting that the evidence will not disappear. https://(wublock123.com)/news/blockstream-refuses-to-pay-ransom-for-stolen-bitcoin-from-liquid-network-68231
