    Trust. I know a blockchain is a zero trust network and all that, but if it is a trustworthy group that can prove ownership of an address/the exploit, then I'd think it could work. I'm a blockchain hater as well, but I'm interested. What is a better platform for something like this, assuming that you trust the actor who owns the address?
