  17. Message 017 From LockBit 3.0 Actor / other Date

    time to pay

  18. Message 018 From Victim Victim Date

    We'd like to pay but you have to understand that the number you're asking is totally out of reach for us. We dont have that kind of money, we're just a small privately owned business. We can't afford anything near that number.

  19. Message 019 From LockBit 3.0 Actor / other Date

    We know exactly what kind of company you are, we have studied you. In addition, we have a lot of your data. You are a multimillion-dollar company that can afford that amount. The only question is whether you are willing to pay damages and losses after your data is published. If you continue to negotiate like this, we will go nowhere and we will be forced to go public.

  20. Message 020 From Victim Victim Date

    We're not sure what you're looking at, but we have not been doing as well as we were in the past. $2 million isn't something we can afford to lose, nor something we have on hand. We want to make a deal and still need your help with our files, but if we could work towards a more affordable price that would really help things move faster for both of us.

  21. Message 021 From LockBit 3.0 Actor / other Date

    And we are not sure of your interest in making a deal.Therefore, we will not give you a discount at this stage.

  22. Message 022 From Victim Victim Date

    We also are not sure of your interest in making a deal, we've stated several times that we can't afford $2 million yet you haven't been willing to provide us with a lower number.

  23. Message 023 From LockBit 3.0 Actor / other Date

    Then change the negotiator or invite a more interested person in resolving the issue.Who will not waste time.It is extremely stupid to ask for a discount on nothing, not offering anything in return.Right?

  24. Message 024 From LockBit 3.0 Actor / other Date

    You want a discount, we can give you a discount of 1%. It's a good discount. And the amount will be less than $ 2000000, pay. You have achieved what you wanted. The next step is up to you. Waiting for payment \

  25. Message 025 From LockBit 3.0 Actor / other Date

    when will you pay?
