You just told the world about a compromised site that has something to do with crypto and stocks. That was your first mistake.

If you want to white hat this you should just contact the admin and mass mail everyone affected and wash your hands of it.

Nuking the site could destroy those peoples crypto forever. Don't do that.

Of course they want to white hat this.

Their cryptocurrency is not stored on this site.

You can't white hat this anymore, what is described is already pretty dark grey.
