Bezos allegedly extorted w/Dick pics by Nat'l enquirer

[theymos]

I'm uncertain about Bezos. The Washington Post has a clear anti-Trump and left-leaning bias, but maybe Bezos purchased it because he wanted to prevent a major newspaper from dying, and he actually does give them a lot of independence. Maybe any pro-Bezos bias by the Post is more of a subconscious thing by their employees than anything (ie. if they know who butters their bread, it'll affect their thinking whether anyone realizes/wants it or not). Ignoring the Washington Post, do we actually know of many instances of Bezos personally attacking good things or promoting bad things? I remember a few things which gave me slightly negative impressions of him, but I don't remember anything major, and I can't find anything with a quick search.

Reading his Medium post makes me tend to respect Bezos more. (Which is the intent, of course.)

It's certainly within the capabilities of several government intelligence agencies to do this spying, but would they? I doubt that Trump would've given some official presidential order to spy on Bezos. Does he have sufficient personal connections within Intelligence to do it off the books? My impression is that Intelligence hates him; in fact, if they did this, I'd consider it most likely that their goal was to set Bezos against Trump.

But far more likely than a major technological attack is that Sanchez's security was shit and someone going through piles of hacked accounts stumbled across this. Or something like that. (Some sources are saying that she just gave the info to others...)

In any case, it doesn't look good for the Enquirer, having a multi-billionaire past the point of caring & out to destroy them.

Not really sure how accurate the Daily Beast is when it comes to breaking stories, but here's something that's interesting. Seems like they have sources saying that the leaks came from the Bezos' mistresses' brother.

I don't see the connection to Trump in all of this though, and the Daily Beast is stating that as well.

Doubt the fact that Bezos bought the company for the good of the company, there's no way a billionaire would be spending this sort of money 'for the integrity of reporting' or some bullshit like that. He's trying to make himself and his company look good while putting down opponents. I do agree on the subconscious thing though, that has to be a large portion of it. Though I do think that at the end of the day he'll have a heavy hand if TRULY necessary.

Enquirer is going to go through hell for this, though some did say this was a way to 'kiss and makeup' with Trump -- going after Bezos, that is. Though I still don't see the connection and why Trump would really care.

Some have speculated The Washington Post purchase was to help with anti-trust issues it was having at the time, along as being a non-traditional way to lobby those in government in Washington.

I don't think it is appropriate for The WaPo to report on Amazon related news the way it does. For example using unnamed sources is troubling because Bezos could potentially order the identity of any confidential sources to be given to him (someone critical of him/Amazon), or he could be directing someone to be a confidential source to "leak" information it doesn't want to explicitly say (such as they are considering not using NYC as one of their HQ2 sites).   

But far more likely than a major technological attack is that Sanchez's security was shit and someone going through piles of hacked accounts stumbled across this. Or something like that. (Some sources are saying that she just gave the info to others...)

The attorney for the Enquirer was on one of the Sunday news shows today and said their source was someone known to Bezos who has been a source for a long time.

My suspicion is it was either someone in his Wife's family or his Mistresses family (or the women themselves).

The claim the Enquirer's reporting on Bezos' affair was politically motivated came from the WaPo. If it turns out there is nothing to support this, the Washington Post would then be peddling politically motivated fake news against the Enquirer to make Bezos look good. The same is true (to a lesser extent) in regards to the WaPos reporting that the source of the leaks may be "a government" although the WaPo's source on this was Bezos' head of security.

I don't disrespect Bezos at all, quite likely I admire him for his accomplishments. Most notably his AWS services being the huge cash cow that makes Amazon more than just a little online Walmart.

But most certainly the fact that he stood up and makes available to the public the disgusting aspect of his private life that was being used for blackmail, suggests to me and others he would rather make public which NE thought he was more willing to hide with a payout. Er, or more accurately, extort to hide. But when you can command a pricey payoff from the
POTUS, you can extort anyone, even the lame ol' richest man in America.

Now as far as intelligence goes, I seriously doubt that anyone expects he is as safe with his phone like a teenager might be. Yes the mistress' brother is implicated, as the mistress would have the only access to the text and images. But the premise resulting from his investigative team has brought out the NSA. I doubt that to be true myself. POTUS and NSA ain't exactly getting along.

But the brother who would defend his sister, well, brothers do not like their sisters besmirched publicly. Yes I would expect the wife soon to be ex, may speak poorly of the mistress.

I dunno. Maybe once we should believe FOX news for the very first time as accurate?

edited to add this quote from the FOX article which significantly peaks my interest in the players...

In addition, Sanchez said his acquaintance with longtime Republican political operative Roger Stone, who recently pleaded not guilty to charges of witness tampering and lying to Congress in Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation, is irrelevant to the Bezos matter.

Roger Stone is a huge red flag to me. I like how they portrayed Stone's "pleaded not guilty", with no other mention of anything else about him. Not even that he just bailed out of jail. Let alone any of his other past shenanigans.

The last two years FOX news have been total Trump fan boys and ignoring anything else as a fact, except but what he says.

Documents reviewed by The Daily Beast show that Michael Sanchez believed the Enquirer pursued its story about Bezos with “President Trump's knowledge and appreciation”—a chase encouraged, in Sanchez’s estimation, by Republican operatives “who THINK Jeff gets up every morning and has a WaPo meeting to plot its next diabolical attack on President Trump.”

Nevertheless what you think about trump vs bezos, the fact is that bezos was worth 70 billion before trump and 140 billion after trump 


Just looking at the money trail, maybe everything is just fake.

MEDIA: TRUMP EVEN HURTS THE RICH, HE'S HORRIBLE FOR EVERYBODY.

But this made me laugh, so thanks for that. Tough to see some regular jokes that don't 'trigger' someone.

And back down to 70 billion after his divorce!

I think I would attribute that more to market sentiment of the company than anything else really.

That indeed wasnt mr trump

If one looked at it from a glass half full perspective you might be able to make the argument that Trump gave Bezo's a "free" divorce or IOW saved him 70 billion dollars!

I mean seriously though why the fuck would the richest dude in the world send dic pics, people are so stupid.

It now looks like more solid reporting coming out that it was the gf's brother.  I am curious as fuck as to just how a guy gets a hold of his adult siblings text's etc and also think its a pretty douchey move to steal your sisters stuff for your own benefit (although not a new thing siblings have been fighting since the beginning of time).

Cause even the richest people in the world are like us normal everyday people. The guy probably sent them over text too.

Honestly though, if you're worth 140B (and lets say 70b after divorce) do you really care about the world seeing your dick?

What I am more curious about is why anyone anywhere gives a flying fuck if he is sending or receiving dic pics and why the fuck in the world anyone considers dic pics a scandal ffs.  Also, sort of off topic but I don't understand why men send dic pics, nothing good can ever come from doing it especially if you have any degree of fame at all.

I mean the enquirer "extorting" him and the creepy brother stealing his sisters stuff on the other hand are pretty scandalous IMO

I mean I don't think dick pics are a scandal. It's the fact that it's Bezos' dick pics, the richest man in the world. Also a guy who's going through a public divorce -- and a guy who has kids. I don't know, I personally expect better from a father.

But yes, the enquirer extorting him is also a pretty big story. I do want to see what legal action comes out of this.

A dick is a dick, the wallet attached to that dick is not relevant to me in terms of how many fucks I give about it!  As Bill Maher said, the thing in Bezo's pants that make women want to fuck him is his wallet not his dick!

Also a guy who's going through a public divorce -- and a guy who has kids. I don't know, I personally expect better from a father.

Like I said nothing good comes from dic pics, even the richest man in the world isn't smart enough to figure this out...

The real exposure for the enquirer is not the specific extortion or possible revenge porn crime but ANY crime they commit can be used to nuke the immunity AMI has with Mueller and the SDNY.  IF Mueller and or SDNY find ANY crime they can go back at AMI for all the Cohen campaign violations and whatever else AMI had to admit to during the immunity deal.  They also won't be able to challenge any of their previous admissions during the immunity deal.  In short IF prosecutors move on AMI, Pecker will end up in jail LOL.

If Pecker is smart enough to understand this, the question obviously remains why was Mr. Pecker willing to risk all of this to shut Bezo's up?

So what you need is a fake story that's good enough?

CNN is reporting the source of the existence of the relationship between Bezos and his mistress is the mistress' brother.

If this is true, based on the fact that the Enquirer normally publishes this type of stories of high profile people, the theory that the reporting was politically motivated is more or less extinguished IMO. This should also throw cold water on the theory that a "government" hacked Bezos' phone to expose his affair.

In theory, the source for the sexting pics may be different, but I would not count on this.

It looks like the mistress' brother is the now known bag man.

[Ciscopro2000]

Bezos has enough money to take down the National Enquirer.  It’s no secret that the Enquire is pro-Trump, and Trump hates Bezos because he owns the Washington Post.  The Post has been critical of Trump many times.  So there was a slight political motivation for the Enquirer to go after Bezos.  The legal battle will likely bankrupt the Enquirer.

The WSJ confirmed the source was Bezos’ mistresses brother, who was paid $200k for the texts.

It sounds like the brother really doesn’t like Bezos. He probably could have gotten 100x this much from Bezos just from asking for a favor.

Or Bezos could have had him killed for 10% of that.
