Why bother to threaten? Why not just expose them? The Jester believes he has hacked "known-bad" people. His list of "known-bad" may not coincide withe people guilty of crimes, and probably coincides even less with people chargeable with crimes.

His evidence probably isn't admissible in court, at least in the USA. I would guess that chain-of-posession is at least a lot suspect. So, The Jester can't really give this to any law enforcement that can use it.

Why not just release the data? What does The Jester believe he/she/it/them can gain from just a threat?
