Hi. My ex took $200k from my account. Asked for various things to return funds including paying money to her mum. All this is on text. I would like to fund a Police Station with a clue or a DPP who wants a blackmail case under his belt. My local cop station is near hopeless (when I reported this I got an email from the policeman that said, and yes you're reading it right, "you had a job, you could afford bread. Iso it's a civil matter".
Here is timeline
1) circuit court judge ordered ex not to touch account. Account in joint names (doesn't matter though when determining blackmail)
2) the next day she took $220k out.
3) multiple texts request me to pay her/her mum monies I did not owe in return for the funds.
4) bank account was previously listed as conflict. I got bank involved who had to get funds from multiple accounts to return it. I have a letter from the bank saying they retrieved funds (in contradiction to my ex's aberration that 'once I realised what I did was wrong I returned funds'.
In my opinion the below are met but I'd love to hear other opinions.
“Menaces” refers to a high degree of coercion – so “demanding money with menaces” refers to a person threatening to do something the victim would not wish them to do if payment is not made

In my opinion the below are met but I'd love to hear other opinions.
- That you made a demand; (that I pay her mum etc to have funds returned)
- That the demand was unwarranted; (judge order was not to touch account. It seems clear it was unwarranted)
- That the demand was made with menaces;
- That the demand was made with either a view to make a gain for yourself or another or with intent to cause a loss for another. (Loss of funds for me. Undue stress. Gain to her and her mother)
