What a pessimist you are, beso ! She's not said " Give me money or I'll tell your wife if you don't" THAT would be blackmail. No, he's sent money of his own volition, a gift to keep her sweet, and hoping that she won't tell. Many a woman, finding out that the man is married, has threatened to tell the wife , perhaps in anger,

You have left yourself wide open to a charge of blackmail. Firstly you admit you threatened to tell his wife but now she has left anyway. He is probably hoping to get her back and doesn't miss the money now but should he feel he has lost everything you will be in a dangerous situation.
He could argue that you demanded the $50,000. Why else would he be so generous. You may find youself having to prove you did not blackmail him and he later had second thought aboutsecumbing to blackmail. He could get the $50,000 back and you could end up in jail on a very serious charge.
He may be a bitter, vindictive and very influencial man with a clever way to get back at your original threat and perhaps a perception that you ruined his marriage. The money is not a big risk to him as he is rich and he would not have gotten that way by being a fool.
I would seriously consider that giving him the money back could be part of the best outcome. However before I did another thing I would seek professional legal advice or you are not going to sleep well over this. I can see you are worried and I am sorry to have to give you another concern.
Sounds like a great plot for a movie doesn't it. :-)

If we are now 'years later', I would suggest that probably nothing is going to happen.
Your bank would have asked you, at the time, where the money was from and it sounds like it was a direct transfer rather than cash, or a cheque, which are the 'suspicious' transactions.
Your 'victim' stumped up the cash and, presumably, has never contacted you again, nor you, him. Keep it that way.
Quite what your tax liabilities are you'll need to discuss with someone more conversant with American law. But if you claim that it was a gift, obviously a very generous one, do you pay taxes on gifts ?

Nothing will come of it as far as he's concerned. Many a rich man has given a substantial gift to his lover on parting. He's not complained of blackmail. Here the Crown Prosecution Service would not entertain a charge even if he was unwise enough to complain now, because there would be no reasonable prospect of conviction

Here in the UK she'd pay no tax, as it's a gift.
I too don't know what American law is . It may be there's a gift tax. If not , then she has an explanation for the money. One which, incidentally, quite a lot of women uset. Few men are that lucky, that married women give them money ! Seems unfair to me !
