I'm confused by the sentence currently in the article that starts "Bunny's nihilist friends took the opportunity to blackmail her husband, who in turn had tried to embezzle money from the family charity..." I understand the nihilists wanted to extort money from Bunny's husband  (The Big Lebowski) using the fake kidnapping ruse , but I could find any evidence that they wanted to blackmail him. What dialog or plot point indicates blackmail?
