Also when I wrote extortion I suppose I am writing about “mundane” extortion. Less three letter agency stuff or wrenches, more divorce lawyers and slip and fall schemes. Or Person A’s landscaping biz goes bankrupt but the judge thought the LLC paperwork was misfiled and opened creditors a door to Person A’s personal funds.

Also for the record I am not being dismissive towards the financial trauma of boating accidents, I am very empathetic, having had several myself.
