I've heard extortion can be a lucrative choice. Jeffery Epstein seems to have been involved. How is it done?

Extortion is an act of using threats to obtain something of value from another person, typically money. The practice is often carried out by threatening to make a certain situation known if a ransom or payment is not received. This practice, sometimes referred to as blackmail, is typically performed by criminal organizations in order to illegally gain money. The act was famously used by Jeffrey Epstein to attempt to silence his victims, as he allegedly promised them money or fame if they kept quiet about his crimes. In the case of Epstein, victims were threatened with being exposed for their sexual activities if they didn't accept his money.
