        Right, but. How are they being extorted? Classic “give me money or we fuck you up?” Type of stuff?

          Yes. Usually phone calls with threats of violence unless some cash is paid. In extreme cases homes/businesses were shot randomly as a scare tactic. I think a car was set on fire as well.
