Read the following paragraph and determine if the hypothesis is true:

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 never received any money as everyone contacted either couldn't afford it or assumed it was a hoax.
