Looks like that's not a good month for reddit.

BlackCat’s post also claims:

In our last email to them, we stated that we wanted $4.5 million in exchange for the deletion of the data and our silence. As we also stated, if we had to make this public, then we now demand that they also withdraw their API pricing changes along with our money or we will leak it.

We expect to leak the data.

LoL. I like how they try to play the good guys with this spin.

And make it easier for Reddit to take the moral high ground by saying that those protesting the changes are somehow aligned with this group.

All I can say is this. Get off my side, you’re making me look bad whether you intended to or not.
