You can pick 2-3 random files up to 10 MB each from the list and we will upload them to this chat as a proof of possession.

We're looking through your financial papers to come up with a reasonable demand to you. We offer: 1) full decryption assistance; 2) evidence of data removal; 3) security report on vulnerabilities we found; 4) guarantees not to publish or sell your data; 5) guarantees not to attack you in the future. Let me know whether you're interested in a whole deal or in parts. This will affect the final price.
