>"Hi, <insert name here>. I know all about you.

Did you receive that in an email recently? I've already deleted it, but I got almost that exact email in my spam on my junk mail account the other day. They were clearly working off of the Adobe password leak.

They quoted my old password in the email and gave the same ol', 'I will email a list of your perverted pornographic interests to your family and employer'

Like you said, they cast a wide net in hopes of catching a few fish. That being said, asking for BTC seems to really narrow the pool to folks who, I assume, would be less likely to fall for this scam.

I know someone who got an email just like that as well.
