"He started his video off by warning the person or persons sending the letters they are committing a serious federal crime if their information turns out to be bogus. But he said if they are real and simply worried about getting their payout $50,000 in bitcoin, according to TMZ then he can help secure it in exchange for real information about who captured Nancy Guthrie."
"If you're worried about getting this money, and you really do have this information, send it to us we will forward it to the FBI, and that way there is a record that we have that you supplied this information, Levin said. If they find her and they find the kidnapper, then at least there is evidence, because we have it, that you were the one who provided the information. So this is a way for you to get that money, if this really is legitimate."
Letters claimed knowledge of Nancy Guthrie's location and demanded a $50,000 bitcoin payout. A media intermediary warned that false claims would constitute a serious federal crime. The intermediary offered to receive information, forward it to the FBI, and create a public record linking the tipster to the information if it proved legitimate. The intermediary also offered to help secure the $50,000 reward from federal authorities for verified tips. The plan was reportedly vetted with the FBI and received conditional approval. A public call was made for verifiable information to aid recovery and prosecution.
