Do monks have much money to extort?

Yep

They believe she received around 385 million baht ($11.9m; £8.8m) over the past three years.

Organized religion is just tax free graft

So what you’re saying is, I just need to have sex with one monk per year, blackmail them at a discount rate so they don’t go to the cops, and then vacation the rest of the year!

Or become a monk, have a bunch of sex, and pay off the occasional blackmail out of the donation funds. I mean, it seems like monks have a great life except for the celibacy thing, so if you take that off the table, maybe it's not a bad deal.

Ah yes, a life of rigid control and mandatory conformity. A great life, indeed. /s

I was being a little factitious, though honestly I don't know what a tibetan monk does day to day. I had an uncle who was a Trappist monk a bunch of years ago, but that's a different thing. I certainly didn't have a bunch of illicit sex in my mental image of them.

Looks like the BBC reworded this title, I assume so that my fellow readers don't also get confused about this woman that had sex with thousands... of videos‽

But now it reads like she took thousands of videos of each sex act

Knowing how sexist monks are, this is kinda hilarious
