The plea agreement admits to only one victim. After Boiteux researched the client, he determined the person was a public figure and had significant resources, according to the plea. Boiteux’s associates then extorted the victim, who ended up wiring $7,200 through Western Union in February 2017. The threats continued after that with demands for $250,000, the plea agreement states.
