In extortion, the goal is survival, to minimise damage, recover, and move on. Sometimes, paying is the only viable option. We hate it, but when all else fails, it can save the day. Yes, criminals are unreliable, and yes, it might not work\u2014but\u2014with the right intelligence and support, it sometimes does. We track payments, share intel, and chase them down.
