No chance! The first mistake was allowing themselves to be misquoted - obviously they were asking for $ 1 Million Dollars in Bitcoin, not 1 000 000 Bitcoin - that is fing insane. :) Only government is f**ed up enough to pay 1/2 Billion for anything, and they certainly were not asking the Federal government to pay to have this out-of-date shit released.
Seriously botched! :)
