Sign the house over to me. But don't forge your wife's signature this time.
the original post was a question regarding illegal blackmail. i know what i did was wrong. illegal, except that i did not do it for monetary gain or to defraud anyone out of anything (a caveat in the state where i reside).
i wondered about the opinions of the learned here regarding blackmail. but i can see that is not the tone or tenor of the respondistas here.
