Seznam owner offers reward for uncovering of blackmailer

The owner of major Czech internet company Seznam, Ivo Lukačovič, has offered a cash reward for the uncovering of a would-be blackmailer. Mr. Lukačovič said on Twitter that he would give whoever assisted in the capture of a person demanding the equivalent of CZK 8 million in bitcoin not to attack Seznam CZK 1 million for every year of any prison term received by the blackmailer.

The company’s founder said on Saturday that whoever made the threat said the money would have to be paid within three days or Seznam would suffer damage.
