Player threatening to delete my Destiny 2 Characters
I am in a predicament. I allowed one of my what I thought was a friend, log into my steam account to play destiny 2. However when I did that he managed to link his epic games ID to my bungie account and is not threatening to lock me out of my account unless I pay $350.
And before anyone says “thats your fault for letting him login to your account” I know. I shouldn’t have done it. People do it all the time and this is someone I played with frequently and didn’t think they’d do this. So please if you don’t have anything helpful just move along.
Also, I tried to deactivate cross save but I cannot since I can’t authenticate his account.

Not only is that a massive security risk, it is also against the platform and Bungie's policies to share your account. You could be banned for this. See the link below for details.

You will never be able to remove it. Only the account owner can remove the account. This is why you should [b]never ever[/b] share any of your accounts.

Obviously do not pay. There is nothing that can be done about the account though. Bungie cannot help you, account security is our responsibility. Bungie can't remove platform accounts from our Bungie accounts.

I'm glad you understand that this is on you. It's a lesson to be learned.

That does not mean it's allowed and safe to do. It's the same with speeding on the roads, just because people do it does not mean it's allowed.

No matter how much you trust someone, you should never ever give them access to your account. They can backstab you at anytime.

Correct, only the account owner can remove it. There is nothing you can do.
