For the U.S. crowd:
I obtained a chat between ransomware group Revil and a german copper manufacturer. Revil demanded 7.5 million but settled for 1.27 USD.
(I got access to 240 Revil-samples. Only the minority had still live-chats in place.)

Reuters had a story about these negotiations here: reuters.com/article/uk-cyb… (by @jc_stubbs), @ValeryMarchive detailed them here lemagit.fr/actualites/252…
I reached out to the hackers in two separate chats, but they fairly quickly deleted my messages. Sort of rude.
REvil claims to make 100 million dollars in profit per year. Huge number that's hard to verify. Kimberly Goody from @FireEye told me the following about ONE ransomware operation. So much money.
