Why does anyone agree to pay hackers? No contract can enforce the deal. Here's a million dollars... now pinky promise you won't leak the documents... lol.

Reputation is the only answer here. If they try to extort someone and then renege on the deal, nobody will ever pay out again. That's a trick you only get to play once.
What reputation if the identities of the people that make up the group of hackers is unknown?
By the way, I'm not a big fan of someone hacking into anybody's system for the purposes of extorting money. But I can't say I'm too sorry to see the shady deals done by governments and corporations coming to light.
Exactly this "darkoverlord" is just as bad as they are, maybe worse. I guess I better be careful or I might get hacked and my files destroyed. If this hacker is caught and killed, I hope s/he has some type of kill switch to get this information out to the public.
