So this is a bounty hunt? aside from that, why not give at least half of the btc sent by those address whom transacted on the address of the hacker. Its highly will help victims for the said coordinated attack. Probably those people are now regretting what they did and realize that this is just a hacked incident on those famous person's account. Come on, Obama uses bitcoin address? Even request and ask for funds. I dont know this news are all over the world. Twitter will be a hot topic for more than a week or even months.

I think this is just a normal reaction from one of the affected and since he got the money to flaunt why not offer such a big bounty. However, I am doubting if this offer can produce anything. One thing for sure, soon if not something really concrete can be done with the growing power and influence of effective hackers and scammers, this industry can be going down the drain.

Yeah, it would be helpful of Justin to provide help to the victims of this Twitter hack, he can easily give away TRX for them even just half of those people lost being ignorant of the many creative ways hackers and scammers are using. Can somebody tell me this to Justin please...

$1 million is hell of an amount for a bounty. However, I doubt there will be any winner for this. Obviously the hackers are professional and finding out who they are is not easy. I think Sun knows this well and he just leverages this incident to promote his Tron. Sun is real good at marketing.
