Blockstream refuses a 10% hacker bounty as nearly 600 BTC remains held, escalating the Liquid Network standoff.

Liquid received 3,400 bitcoin back after nearly 4,000 BTC was taken; 598.5 BTC remains unreturned and the network is still paused.

Bitcoin became a message board after the Liquid exploit, as Blockstream and white hats traded notes over nearly 4,000 BTC.
