Question on the Blue Check Twitter Hack
So, some on here speculated that the message about bitcoin was done to showboat after they got what they wanted.

So, what did they want?

Tiegen deleted 30K (?) tweets. Did the hackers get those? Did the hackers get control of Twitter accounts and able to send out delayed tweets or build a back door in to somehow send out rogue tweets later?

Or, was it done to take Trump off the platform (Jr. is not back on) by making it seem that no one is able to trust what is posted on there anymore?

Or was it done to expose the "shadow banning" control or suppression of tweets and how nefarious Twitter is for Conservatives?

Or was it a hack aimed at obtaining gullible people's bitcoin?
