The usual email scam copypasta threat, in German. Contains a password, because it makes it more credible. Use a password manager folks...

This blackmailer / scammer uses wallet [cb3a69a4a8] / 0234b8598e28750e with 52 bitcoin addresses for extortion and amounts to be transferred to wallets [33f98a67e4], [9448f408f9], [e2b219375b], [8d3f03e97f], [012ba66908] [0f4e57fd91] and [012ba66908]. This is obviously the biggest nonsense, paying with Bitcoin is anonymous so the scammer cannot know who the money came from (there is no sender). The story as described in the mail is therefore incorrect and is not based on truths.
