A pension scheme later landed him in prison for forgery, and when he sought Hamilton's help, he was turned down. Maria's husband, James Reynolds, caught wind of the affair, and began shaking Hamilton down for money. When he visited the boarding house where she was staying to deliver the funds, Maria invited him to her room, where, as Hamilton would later write in his pamphlet about the affair, it became "apparent that other than pecuniary consolation would not be unacceptable."
