"Honor Hacker" blackmail for 793$ in Bitcoin [SOLVED]

I use pass phrases. They're easier to remember, or at least type without making a mistake, and nearly as hard to guess as a
collection of randomly generated characters. The only problem is, some websites won't accept spaces as characters.

If you type your pass phrase into gtk checksum utility there are a variety of different characters, you can choose a short checksum or a long
checksum as your password.

Using the imagination makes the possibilities endless and easy to remember.

I received an Italian version.
Raw source attached as a zip file, if anyone wants to do forensics on it.

BFN.

I just checked the 2 IP's and the bitcoin wallet.
The IP's are in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and somewhere near Moscow, Russia. It probably leads to nothing.
The wallet is just 2 days old and has received more than 1 bitcoin in total from about 15 victims, which is a substantial amount of money and victims.

For the bitcoin wallet in the first mail it adds up to more than 4 bitcoins in a week from 30 victims!

[December 13th's] massive spam campaign that sent bomb threats to hundreds of thousands of users across the US and Canada, and caused evacuations of buildings across several cities, was carried out by the same group of spammers responsible for the recent wave of sextortion scams, two cyber-security firms said on Friday.

Well, it is almost Christmass, isn't it.
