Can Extortionist take cards another player draws for Wild General or similar effects that do not go into their hand?

No. The designer intends Extortionist to trigger only when another player acquires cards as compensation or draws cards into their hand. Cards drawn and discarded, such as Wild General reinforcements, do not count, and the card wording is being revised to say 'into his or her hand'.
