which makes it harder to trace. Undoubtedly, the ransom will be be bounced in cyberspace through dozens of sites and possibly be dispersed into many cyber-banking accounts.

As for how they make the exchange, once the kidnappers verify the ransom has been paid all they have to do is release her somewhere semi-isolated and notify the family/police a couple of hours later.
