Now if AMI wanted you or I to say those statements I’m not sure how valuable they’d be.
- slavik81 8y agoTo elaborate, "something of value" is the language from the federal law. Under Washington state law, blackmail explicitly includes demands for services. I would think that the demand for a public statement would qualify, however, I'm not a lawyer, and this case is unusual enough that I would not be confident in my personal interpretation of the law.
