Broadly speaking, it is not illegal to demand (or ask for) money that you are duly owed. TMAN might have violated debt collection laws in his posts depending on where both he and BetKing are located, and other factors; if this is the case, I would consider it to be a process crime.

I don't condone how TMAN went about trying to collect the debt he purchased, and above all I think it was immature and intended to create drama, but I don't think it would meet the legal threshold of being blackmail or extortion.

Elsewhere in the thread you are quoting, TMAN had purchased alleged debt owed by the person he was asking to pay. Even if the debt was invalid, I believe in this case that TMAN believed in good faith the debt to be valid, and BetKing did not dispute the debt to TMAN prior to TMAN making any of those statements.

His actions.. by his, laudas and yoggs OWN STANDARDS and definition is clearly extortion and blackmail.

I haven't been following the drama surrounding your dispute with these people, so I don't know if this is extortion by their standards or not. With that being said, a lot of people are hypocrites, so I would get over it. You should judge people by your own standards, not anyone elses.

I would also tend to agree with TwitchySeal below that the thread in question was a bunch of shit talking.

Some other relevant facts:

- It's basically devolved into a bunch of shit talking, TMAN wasn't even trying to make any money he even said if he got paid he'd just give it to LoyceV in exchange for the one satoshi. He's just trying to get a piece of shit to pay his debts or fuck off instead of trying to run another scam.

I believe Dean had said that he would not disclose his new project to anyone, so I would guess his defaulting on other debts will not impact his ability to start his new project, if one really exists. I am disappointed that certain users were fanning the flames of the drama in this case, and others recently, but there is little I can do about that.

As I have previously stated, it is in any potential creditors' best interest to retain a lawyer ASAP to discuss a possible lawsuit against Dean to enforce any alleged debts (I only use the word alleged because Dean has disputed the existence of debts), and recover money out of his assets.
