THR: HBO hackers leak email from network that offers them $250,000

What hoops?

It's basically like opening a new bank account exclusively to obtain bitcoin and doing so in the name of a company is not a fast or easy process, especially when you're doing it digitally and therefore unable to appear in person. There are so many authorizations and identity checks that need to be provided to make that happen. And then once that finally goes through you gotta make a payment to them which takes a couple days to process under strict securities. Then put in a request to convert those funds to bitcoin. Then put in a request transfer those funds into your own external bitcoin wallet which takes time and then finally you can make the payment to the assholes.
