Default Legal or street-legal advice needed: how do I deal with a (hypothetical) crook?

Just be aware that in some jurisdictions, a bald threat of prosecution unless you pay is itself a felony (extortion). You can threaten to turn the matter over to the authorities but you should not condition your not doing so on a cash payment.
