I can see it - a trusted 'intermediary' who has trust and expertise to both clients.


Yes and no. The indictment explicitly mentions the hackers got paid through HackerOne but didn't have a HackerOne account. HackerOne manually sending a payout so large manually via Bitcoin no less is strange to say the least.
