Right. I understand that Halderman had an envelope with e-mails and photos to show Letterman that he meant business. It certainly appears to be a story unfolding.
I am also wondering why Halderman being a 7-time Emmy winner, TV producer and having a journalism career spanning three decades would jeopardize his reputation and future career on a well-known man like Letterman? I don't know the extent of Halderman's financial troubles and if that, in fact, is the main reason for the blackmail. He still had to have some pretty heavy goods on him, to ask that much money.
But then you have to look at the strategic move of Letterman's attorney writing a check that was certain to bounce.
