>>509740450If anyone blackmails you, call the FBI immediately.
Another example, this time you are the victim, rather than the blackmailer, this way you can see it from the other side.
You walk into a liquor store, you pull a gun, and rob the store. The store owner has you on tape committing the crime, but recognizes you from the internet as an e-celeb bitcoin guru with 4 million subs. The store owner does not call the police. Instead he messages you, sends a screenshot from the vid, and says "I want $50k a month for the rest of your life or I call the cops"
You piss your pants OMG i'm screwed, i'll lose my subs, people will see that i'm a fraud, i don't know anything about blockchange or crypto-billfolds my career is over, i'm going to prison. You cry for an hour. then you get mad, "who does this guy think he is blackmailing me, you contemplate doing a drive-by and taking him out, but you remember he has the video, "shit shit shit, i am not going to prison, better call Saul"
ring ring. "i need help, i screwed up" you explain the situation and Saul says "lets go to the FBI and charge that SOB. Extortion is a felony. "but, but I had a gun" this isn't england, guns are legal. "but i robbe" shh allegedly. Law enforcement isn't going to take the word of a felon, an extortionist. you're a fine upstanding member of the community, with a lot of subscribers.
Liquor store blackmailer goes to prison, hangs himself. Case closed, what more do you want?
