I doubt your idea is actually that dangerous, so I’m treating this as a hypothetical. But in general if your idea is dangerous and you want hush money to keep silent about it then this is really more like a blackmail threat than anything else. I think you should reflect on what life decisions you’ve made that posting what amounts to a “it’d be a real shame if...” threat on a public forum seems like a good idea.
I think this a really unfair reading of this post. Maybe it has been edited in ways since it was originally posted to change its tone (my understanding is that some editing has happened), but my impression is that the author is asking about economic incentives that would keep them or someone like them quiet rather than blackmail. If the author wanted to blackmail us, they could have made a very different kind of post.

Thank you for this, I believe you have described my intent accurately.
To clarify, everything before ‘per request from the comments...’ was the original post.
