What is the guarantee that some random extortionist is going to stop just cause you sent them money?


The chance that someone would send him money a second time is very small, and the act of terrorism comes with risk of getting caught. If the extortionist is in it for the money, it doesn't make sense to continue the same scheme. It might make sense to start a new scheme, however.
