What kind of idiot sends a blackmail demand for BTC but uses a wallet identifier that doesn't exist?

I replied EAT ME to email but this was from a month ago so it bounced.

The only thing I can think of they never expected to get paid in bitcoin but rather, the whole point was to reply to the email so they take a different approach.

What were they blackmailing you about? It will be just between us. No one else has to know.

They never actually say. They just reference some activity they assume I would be embarrassed about. I guess that's not too hard to figure out.

It was a pretty long email but it actually said almost nothing. I think they were relying on the shock value from having my street address and pics of the property. Oooo, scary.

I was really pretty disappointed when the email bounced. I had done a reply all thinking there were probably some bcc's included but upon checking it seems only the sender can ever know who those belong to. Too bad.
