You can either pay the ransom or sign a message... There's no other way to get your account back.
Maybe the "hacker" is willing to use escrow?
That's not true, he has the password.
DO NOT PAY THE THIEF!I have the account. Let him lock it, I think Global Mod hilariousandco can unlock it.
I have to go now, account is secure.
Now that I have more time: this is what premium_domainer posted:
It was deleted before I could quote it, so I just have a screenshot.
Before that, BitcoinBazaar.net posted this:
It didn't show up without clicking the link.
I took the account to stop anyone else from doing it. Now let's see if it gets locked within 2 weeks.
On March 11, 2018, I helped OP to
sign a message. I still have the private key, so I can sign one again:

Today is July 12, 2018. I (LoyceV) took ownership of account premium_domainer (u=361655) when the hacker posted the password. This account was hacked and BitcoinBazaar.net has been trying to regain access since January 10, 2018. Full thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2721567.0.
I'll give the account back to the OP of this thread (BitcoinBazaar.net), and request all red trust to be removed.
Special request to hilariousandco: if this account gets locked within 2 weeks from now, can you please unlock it again?
