TMZ founder Harvey Levin has revealed in a televised interview that he was prepared to pay one bitcoin to an anonymous emailer who claims to hold video evidence and the identities of the people behind the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, but federal agents told the outlet this week to 'stand down'.
The offer, made as Levin pressed the FBI about repeated messages to TMZ demanding one bitcoin in exchange for what the sender called a direct trail to the kidnappers, came after Guthrie vanished from her Arizona home at the end of January and has not been found.
