Wrong interpretation. You should always put everything back and get the bounty paid with non-stolen funds. The 1.5M is the bounty offered, I'm 99% sure. So "they're not willing to pay anything" is a bad assumption on your part, I think.

He doesn't want to give everything back hoping to get something in return because he doesn't want to trust, he wants to verify 😅

The “(maybe even 0)” made it sound like it might not be a bad assumption.

That refers to them not having received it yet? I wouldn't pay squat to anyone holding 15% of funds hostage either.

As little as 3 months ago my former security list got blackmailed for 500k USDC including ethereum address. And that was one of countless. So I guess I am biased.

The hacker is afraid that they won't pay him the bounty if he releases he remaining coins.

1.5 million for 5 billion assets is kinda 0 in hacker's eyes. Because he isn't sure...maybe the blockstream guys indicated something to him with disrespect.
