Extortion vs Blackmail

What is Extortion?
Extortion is a crime that involves making use of threat of violence to exact money from a person or a company. Euphemistically, it is called protection as when organized syndicate or gang wrests money from people in lieu of providing protection to them.
Coercing someone to cough out money or favor is extortion. Now this coercion could be because of threat of violence, use of governmental action, or by inducing fear emotionally.

What is Blackmail?
Blackmail is an act of threatening a person to reveal something about him that may be socially damaging or embarrassing for him.
If the victim feels his image will be destroyed by the revelation of some information about which the criminal has proof, he agrees to pay money to the offender.

Mark the difference. In #Yuchun’s case, it’s extortion. ^^
