It's not blackmail, it's a bargaining chip.

Except that the bargaining chip (our money) is stolen. It does not belong to them; they just transfer it for us. They have illegally taken possession of it. It is theft.

If you give me your car for a day and I do not return it as agreed but continue using it – I have stolen your car.

If I tell your big brother I will return you your car as soon as your big brother does me a favor, I am blackmailing you both.

They are digging their own grave with this “bargaining.”
