According to the trope description, the difference is that the person making the leonine offer isn\'t \'\'creating\'\' the danger, merely \'\'exploiting\'\' it. I think, though, that a lot of the examples here are misfiled and actually belong under AnOfferYouCantRefuse.

What makes it particularly interesting is that in the original fable of the lion and his fellow hunters, the lion did indeed create the danger himself; many versions of the tale have him kill and eat the animal who tried to divide the spoils fairly.
