    while that would probably fix this problem, it would only work if it could be enforced. which it couldn’t be, because crypto exists

      Well but their money should be accountable somewhere. You’d have to commit fraud to hide it.

        what I’m imagining is that the attackers could make their wallet address public, and tell the company that they would fix everything or whatever if a sum of money magically appeared in their account. If the owner of the company privately held some crypto, they could pay them off the books and go around the law you were proposing.
