Bring out the gimp!

There's a new note in the Nancy Guthrie case, but this one doesn't seem to be from the kidnapper ... instead, it's from someone offering to give up information on the kidnapper.
TMZ received the note just before 5 AM PT, and the sender claims they've tried unsuccessfully to reach Savannah Guthrie's brother, Camron, and her sister, Annie, by email and text. The note goes on, "If they want the name of the individual involved then I want 1 Bitcoin to the following wallet. Time is more than relevant."
There is a legitimate bitcoin address in the note ... and it is a different address from the one in the original ransom note, received by TMZ and 2 Tucson TV news stations.
We have forwarded this note to the FBI.

This is insane.
This is stupid, the reward is already $50K 1 bit coin is about $66K, why not just collect the reward....
Nothing makes any sense in this. One wonders if these ransom notes are even sent by anyone actually involved in the case.
> why not just collect the reward.... <
My (wild) guess is that the bitcoin guy knows nothing, and is running a scam.
Maybe so the kidnapper doesn't know, and can't find out who the rat was?
My guess: After listening to the retired FBI guys last night on the news and other people with knowledge of Bitcoin evidently money put into a Bitcoin ‘Wallet’ can be immediately transferred out electronically, parsed/spread out to other accounts, even many making it difficult to discover to even impossible and even then once transferred to other accounts those accounts can be immediately transferred to other accounts and so on...
Sounds like a fake looking to grab money.
Keep in mind I know NOTHING about Bitcoin other than what was said last night on the news but this sounds like what it is to me and I bet the FBI think the same.
Buncha rats out there.
Bring out the gimp!

There are a lot of sickos in our country.
We don’t even know it’s from our country. It could just as easily be a third-world dirtbag looking for a payday.
Just keep sending those payments. //sarc
ANYONE can create bitcoin address.
This is getting ridiculous.
I’d like to think well of the FBI.
But it took them something like thirty agents and three months to figure out the rope on Bubba Wallace’s garage door was a pull rope not a noose.
Not sure how traceable bitcoin is, but I know emails and texts can be traced.
Which leads me to believe they are not putting much if any credibility in what is coming in and out of TMZ.
I suspect law enforcement understood early on that the body, the perps and the best evidence is not on this side of the border.
And most of the work they are doing on this side of the border is running in place.
What the FBI guy said was essentially true. But the government is getting really good at tracking this stuff.
Anyway...it’s when the bitcoin gets converted into some other currency that they screw up. If the perp is in the US, the companies that do that stuff are tied pretty closely to the authorities.
Bitcoin is not the Wild West that it was in 2017.
Yeah, that is what the guy said, they transfer it to foreign accounts. Those countries do not keep the records we do in the United States which is why they transfer the money to those accounts, difficult to trace to impossible and done in a flash.
The whole point of crypto is money laundering with virtually complete lack of detectability.
I’m beginning to suspect TMZ.
WHY hasn’t Savannah OFFERED A BIG REWARD TO GET HER MOTHER BACK???
COULD IT BE DOMINIC EVANS AS THE ABDUCTOR???
Can ANY Freeper post a pic of Dominic Evans side by side with the ABDUCTOR?? He has thin eyebrows, thin mustache, soul patch and brown eyes!! Don’t know what his body looks like thogh.
