The mysterious person who hacked our currency has now been hacked. Someone gained access to the email account that belongs to Satoshi Nakamoto, the founder of bitcoin, and is threatening to release the secretive creator's messages if someone transfers 25 bitcoins, or about $12,000 to him. “The fool used a primary gmx under his full name and had aliases set up underneath it. He’s also alive,” the hacker, "Jeffrey," told Wired. Nakamoto hasn't been heard from since 2010.
