On February 16, BlackCat added loanDepot to their dark web leak site, but without any data as proof. At the time, they claimed that LoanDepot had shown up in the negotiation chat, and had offered $6 million for the data and a decryptor, but allegedly claimed they could offer more after the weekend.
