Can we draw the following hypothesis from the context (see options)? 

Context:

Some of the emails had the subject line, "Think Twice." They were sent from a spoofed email address. The sender claimed to have had an associate plant a small bomb in the recipient's building and said the only way to stop him from setting it off was by making an online payment of $20,000 in bitcoin.

Hypothesis: The sender would have accepted $20,000 in cash.
Options are:
[I] Yes.
[II] It's impossible to say.
[III] No.
