No, there is no evidence that he paid Hunter

Perhaps they did not like the list of negatives as already shown. perhaps even terrorist will not lower themselves to a certain point in using someone of questionable character. Or they did not want to trust him no matter what the cost.

Attempted extortion would be a better description. My apologies for not making that clearer.
How exactly was this extortion or attempted extortion?

Read the op and the second post.

I have quoted it numerous times
So when I submit a cover letter saying why they should hire me and what I expect to be paid if they do I'm extorting them?

He offered to do something for them if they paid him money to do it. That sounds like applying for a job to me.

So , let me understand the objective of your thread –

Hunter Biden tried “attempted extortion” to terrorist, who make living by killing Americans, has better more value that they wouldn’t work with low life junkie like Hunter Biden ?

nope you missed it. read the op.
I did. And like I said, he offered to perform a service for them if they paid him a certain amount of money. How is that exortion?

Through an intermediary, the younger Biden offered to help recover $15 billion in Libyan assets that the Obama administration froze during the reign of Muammar Qaddafi.

Someone comes to you and says - hey! you want your money - pay me 2 mil a year and I'll get it released from the people who have legally froze it.

The implied threat is that you are not going to get your money. It's like paying the mob for protection. There is no force there, but you will be safe if you pay us.

There is were we disagree.

Thanks for your post.
The person offering to get the funds released - for a fee - did not do the freezing, had no hand in the freezing.

An offer to help is not a threat to harm. In this case the harm had already happened, the funds were frozen.

At worst, this could be considered soliciting a bribe, but it just doesn't qualify as extortion. Extortion has a particular meaning and this simply doesn't qualify.

While his daddy was vp:

Hunter Biden requested a $2 million annual retainer and "success fees" to help unfreeze Libyan assets when his father, Joe Biden, was vice president, according to emails reviewed by Business Insider.

Through an intermediary, the younger Biden offered to help recover $15 billion in Libyan assets that the Obama administration froze during the reign of Muammar Qaddafi. The intermediary, a Democratic donor, in a Jan. 28, 2015, email asked for a "close circle of people" to be involved in the offer "for confidentiality," adding that Joe Biden was considering running for president. Another email on Feb. 26, 2016, stressed the importance of only a small, close-knit group's being involved "due to the sensitivities surrounding their involvement."​

So what is the going rate?

Vito Corleone never spoke of price - just made offers you couldn't refuse.
Vito Corleone is a made-up character from a movie.

If you come to think , Joe Biden family is like The Godfather .

Fictional or not fictional , if I can create a thread to bash “Biden family” , I already completed my objective for the day!

No, don’t do that. A whole lot of his supporters with get upset, I mean just look at this one that has links and is not even a bashing thread.

I wouldn’t do it personally.

Really! Wow, gosh golly gee thanks for letting me know.
So why are you quoting fictional characters? That doesn't clarify anything. Would you find it helpful if someone quoted Goldilocks?
