In brief
Blockstream said it will not "pay a ransom" for the return of about 598.5 BTC still held after the Liquid exploit.
The hackers returned 3,400 BTC on Monday, about 85% of what was taken.
The company said it will work with law enforcement, exchanges and forensic specialists to trace the rest should it not be returned.
Blockstream has refused to pay for the return of the $47 million in Bitcoin still missing from the Liquid Network, abandoning days of negotiation with the people who took it."Taking assets without authorization and withholding their return is a crime, not responsible disclosure," the company said on Friday. "It is not white-hat activity. It is theft."
