      And we all said at the time, that’s not how blackmail works. Once they’ve gotten money out of you, you can count on them coming back for more.

      Your dog analogy reminded me of a story I once heard, about a guy walking his dog. One day, his dog found a package of pork chops that were inexplicably hidden under a bush. For that dog, it was literally like finding buried treasure. It made such an impact on him, that he checked under that bush on every wall, for YEARS.
