Seriously!
Is this guy going to the (John & Patsy) Ramsey school of ransom...errr....extortion?
What's with such a random number? Is that like Ramsey's 1996's $118,000 ransom 'demand', but in 2010 (inflation) dollars?
$743,000
$118,000
Yes, it was bizarre in the Ramsey case, and it's bizarre in this case, too. Most people who read newspapers, listen to radio reports of actual ransom demands, or watch TV and movies know most criminals use well-rounded extortion amounts: $1 million dollars, $500,000, etc.
Although in the Ramsey case, it was pointed out that several people knew J Ramsey had gained $118,000 at that time, so maybe the "suspects" demanded what they knew was available.
So, Tricia, was it recently announced that you inherited $743,000 from a wealthy great-uncle who had no descendants and always thought you had lovely hair?
Truly, $743,000 is a most unusual amount. Perhaps JW sat in his corner of the world with a little calculator figuring how much it will cost him to live out the rest of his life, plus how much it would cost for a lawsuit?
I'm just glad you didn't back down and had courage to stand up to him legally. I'm thinking the other forum owners who were threatened probably are inexperienced with this type of thing and aren't aware of the laws involved, making them easily intimidated.
Please be safe, Tricia. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We all learn from you.
