Hi Sally! I suppose I may have used incorrect language, as I intended it to mean he would find someone to hold onto something (information, pictures, etc) and publish it should he not prove he met his goal. Ergo, he does it to hisself, essentially. This is a fascinating topic, and you now have me thinking of ways to blackmail yourself. I suppose one way would be the many dares where you put a spare car key somewhere, then drive away and lock yourself out, forcing you retrieve the key in your current state.
