Because the list is so short, here's a game designed in Singapore by Jacques Deul and made there by Van der Veer Games, 2000.
In it, players set up surveillance cameras to blackmail opponents, send them blackmail letters, receive wage increments or reductions, hire thugs and private investigators or even let the FBI on someone's blackmail scam.
(Thanks to S.H. Wong for letting me know about this one!)
