Adult Friend Finder - New perils of the devil's hole

Over the weekend a mid Texas newspaper headline mentioned sex, lawyers and the internet. I read the what was visible threw the window in the newspaper machine quickly. It seems that a married woman posted an ad on adult friend finder (.com), subsequently met men for sex and then her hubby threatened them with lawsuits. Several men provided thousands of dollars as "settlements" to avoid public exposure of what they had been doing. This seems to be an extortion scam that might have some kind of quasi legal basis, but I didn't get all the details. I thought I'd mention it here as it relates to shiny shoes post shown on this site earlier. The thought of being blackmailed has occurred to me before, both when stepping outside the confines of my marriage in person and when playing on the internet. Anything untruthful or covert is a liability. I guess I've always been paranoid enough to limit my exposure. There are probably two or three people in the world, who with sufficient hacking resources and time to spend waiting and watching for me, could positively ID me, learn my true identity then expose or threaten to expose what I've written here. There are others who could observe me, learn things I haven't told them then act. So like anyone who plays, I run a degree of risk in order to enjoy certain activities. It seems that based on Mr. Shiny Shoes post that a lot of men are very careless with their actual identities. This surprised me to an extent. My paranoia comes so naturaly that I was shocked, but then I don't hold very high expectations of others so it made sense that not everyone would be savvy about being discrete. I imagine there are those who would say, you play with fire you get burned, or some other lame cliche indicating that in the case of cheaters, especially dumb cheaters, it's ok for them to get blackmailed. To me it's not news, it should have been expected from the get go, but fair warning it's out there now. You can't buy silence, you can only rent it.
