EXAMPLE:
So let's say I had 70 million of something and you were in a position to take that away from me.
Then you threaten to take that away from me, make it known to me that you can do so with a click of a finger!
With one catch!
What is that?
Well, you say to me, "I want so much of your 70 million or else!"
and I agree to it, as otherwise I will lose all 70 million.
= EXTORTION.
What a word hey!
Not so cheap, but hell, still dirty as dirty gets!
;)
You all have a good one!
Cheers!
