Depends on the leverage...
If he was representing the people or a law enforcer: no.
If he was a commercial boss: of course, that's capitalism.

Manipulating people against their will? No.
I'd rather resolve issues in an honest, civil manner.

Well, it would be pretty irresponsible not to. I mean, what's the point of having the leverage if not to use it? :-D
