I want to know how many photos the Enquirer blackmail vault is holding from noted Rump lover Cindy Yang’s Happy Ending Day Spa empire.

Wonder how the brother got access to her texts? I suspect there might now be a slight rift in that family.

This is the kind of checkbook journalism where the check should really be one of those big Publisher’s Clearinghouse cardboard checks they bring over with balloons and stuff.

I hope that the National Enquirer gets it from both ends --criminal and civil charges. Bezos can keep them in civil court until they are drained dry and some jail time would be the icing on the cake.

Maybe I’m just a clueless dolt, but taking somebody else’s private communications (even if you know the password, that they were behind a password would seem to indicate some expectation of privacy) and selling them to a third party seems kind of illegal.

$50,000 more to get Bezos than to keep Karen McDougal quiet.

At least both were for a good cause, amiright?

I thought the National Enquirer bought stuff like that to bury it… wait a minute…! WTH?

You might be on to something. There is one of those day spas in Bismarck, ND of all places - does her empire extend to every state capitol?

Their mode of operation is similar to that of the Armenian in Babylon Berlin. He secretly filmed important people doing various acts that they wanted kept secret and put them in a vault in his office. It was a great blackmail resource and it looks like the National Enquirer was using that model. Unfortunately for them, Bezos did not play.

They were on shaky financial ground before they embarked on this . I suspect that shortly Besos will own them.
Pecker you fucking moron.
Did we mention Bezos in the richest man on the plant with unlimited resources.

I hope the Wall Street Journal wasn’t counting on getting an invitation from the Christian County Republican Central Committee.

At least he got a decent price.

Was she careless and left her phone open and hanging around? Did he know the password? (Presumably he didn’t have the same fingerprint she does.) You’d think–though you could well be wrong–that Bezos’ girlfriend would be smart enough not to be so easy to hack.

Mere millionaires shouldn’t piss off Billionaires who could burn stacks of $100 bills to stay warm for the next 10,000 years and still have money left over…

An old colleague had “3333”… amongst others. It’s amazing how many people expose their unlock patterns/codes in public, at airports and everywhere else. People really don’t pay attention to who is around them and might see.

The woman gave them to him, he is also her agent.
