I have been learning more about PDFs than I really wanted to for maybe the absolutely most funny reason possible - letting agency forgery: https://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/73317.html
@mjg59 so did they give you your money back or
@leo They don't have it! They're not obliged to! This is why it's so confusing!
I expect that would be extortion (threatening to report a crime _unless someone does something_ is usually extortion, with some narrow exceptions when that something is ~undoing the effects of that very crime -- so "give that back or I will report the theft" is generally fine).
