An eerie prediction about the hack 48 hours in advance. Circumstantial evidence that they either had inside knowledge of the hack or that they had achieved some level of confidence it's success.

This is  more than likely a opportunistic scam. Make sure they prove they can move the funds before you attempt any negotiations. If I had to guess I'd imagine this is some of the ETC crowd running low on funds to pump their trash.

I agree that this is likely just a scammer. Why would the real crooks settle for a 75% loss on their stolen BTC?

It's also quite suspect that they were originally claiming to have hacked ETC, then the sudden switch to talking about bitfinex.

As I postulated in the article, it may be someone with inside info but not the actual hacker. I was also confused by them switching it up but I assumed they had potential access to both ETC and BTC but only achieved the BTC attack vector.  Aside from insider knowledge, how do you explain them calling the largest hack of the year 3 days before it happened.
