If he was totally stupid he would have you download all 31TB at once. And yes, that would be pretty easy to block because even if you have a 10gbps connection, it would still take a good workday to download it all.

If he was smart, he would have it in smaller parts and release each smaller part individually. Then maybe release those in different ways to keep the enemy from predicting the next wave.

My guess is that he has people all around the world and they could release large chunks of files that are encrypted. Because no one can open them up, you would get the opportunity to download it. Then, all he would need to do is release just the password and that could be done over his wallet that just was released and there would be no way to stop it.

The way block chain works basically is that you don’t have one central server. There are many thousands of servers all around the globe. So, when a transaction takes place, it’s blasted out to them all. So, it’s like trying to shoot smoke. Doesn’t have much impact to it at all. Just a little puff. That could be used for this but this guy is crazy as shit and no telling how complex it could end up being.
