Yes, but I think the cartels will do that, too. Besides, what’s the holdup? The family has agreed to pay the ransom, haven’t they?
I have heard ZERO about the family putting millions in a bitcoin wallet.

I would want proof of life through a phone call or video.
“The latest ransom note includes “a highly sophisticated demand” and “graphically describes the consequences if the ransom isn’t paid,” TMZ reported. The outlet said it forwarded the information to the FBI and would not release additional details.
FBI sources also told TMZ they had informed Mexican authorities about Guthrie’s kidnapping and asked them to keep an eye out for the missing 84-year-old mother of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie.”
