It's like a difference between a rapist and a murderer. I'm sure you can argue either side but I'd rather have them both locked up.

Per the article, it's more like the difference between a violent criminal and a white collar criminal.

They extort via threat of violence, and they do follow-up if they're not paid.

I'm sure they're just stealing company stationery.

The articles doesn't actually mention any examples of this purported white collar crime, unless you count extortion as such.
