RaNsOm NoTe

If you don’t wire us $1 million in the next 24 hours, you’ll never see your husband again! Or at the very least, your reunion will be delayed significantly. We know you have this money in the bank! Not that we have direct access to your account; that’d be a blatant violation of the law. Point being: If you value your husband—including but not limited to his emotional, financial, and cultural value, as well as the explicit and implicit support structures of both traditional and nontraditional family units—you’ll comply immediately (or as soon as possible within your bounds of tolerance).
