The only way to deal with this is to not pay. There is no guarantee they’ll not ask for more in 6 months. Accept that you did something wrong and deal with the consequences
- You are potentially going to go to prison for 20 to life.
- Your customers are going to go to prison likely for less than 20 to life
- If you go to jail your identity will cease to be secret to all the people you helped into a cell who all got out years before you.
If you own up and do the right thing the most pressing question might become are they sending my customers to the same prison and how will I protect myself from a meth head with a homemade shank made out of a sharpened plastic spork.
Logically if the person runs the same scam again so long as they keep asking for amounts of money you have or can get you just keep paying. Ugly but true or you know don't deal drugs in the first place. One ill deed leads to another.
