So, the only way Boxman90 could have committed a crime would be if NWO committed a crime. Pre-mining a digital currency isn't a crime, so this does not apply.
1. Pre-mining, in and on its own is not. Representing to people that it was not pre-mined and causing financial losses or disadvantages is a crime, possibly a fraud.
2. Extortion, whatever form it takes, is a crime. For example, one can threaten to publish embarrassing photos about a person if the person does not pay. It is clearly extortion and it is clearly a crime.
