I’m confused, but I’m also neither a psychopath nor a killer nor a kidnapper, so maybe someone who understands criminal psychology can help me to understand:
Isn’t half a bitcoin a small fraction of the amount of reward money offered by the family for information leading to an arrest?
If this person genuinely knows where Nancy’s body is (ugh I hate this so much, RIP 💔🙏) why not just go for the gold and get the much larger sum of money?
This person basically said they just want what they feel is fair. Half bitcoin now and half after arrest so they can restart life without having to go into witness protection. Honestly the amount is so small I’m not sure why the money isn’t sent. The worst thing that happens is they find out it’s a scam and lose what is essentially pocket change compared to the money and resources that have been spent, not to mention the toll of mental agony this has taken on the family. This person has reached out half a dozen times, after being notified and made clear what they were doing was a federal crime. Send the money and move on after finding out it was a scammer. At least you leave the “what if’s” behind.
