Extortionists

“	Citizens! With the exclusive NegaDuck protection plan, you're guaranteed to be safe and sound! To join, just send me, NegaDuck, all your money! In return, I'll send you this cheap lapel pin. You wear it and I leave you alone! But if you don't wear it, nobody is going to save you, especially not that doddering old Darkwing Duck! GET IT?!	„
	~ NegaDuck extorting the citizens of St. Canard.

“	It was exactly one year ago to the day that the Bank of the Black Monks of Saint Herod — “Banking with a smile and a stab” — of which I am the assistant manager, lent you one thousand pounds. Our motto is "repayment or revenge".	„
	~ The Bishop of Bath & Wells to Edmund Blackadder.

Extortionists are criminals who violently force others into unfair deals, usually for monetary or political gain. A prime example of this is a protection racket, whereby a gang or organization offers to keep a business "safe" but demands a sizable reward in exchange; this practice can also be applied to individuals when one extracts money or other commodities from another via intimidation or fear.

They are a worse version than Blackmailers and Deal Makers since they use violence to make the victim submit to the deal, while Blackmailers simply expose information about the victim if they refuse to pay and Deal Makers are a more general version and could use any punishment or even none at all.
