Jeff Bezos wrote a Medium post today outing AMI and David Pecker (the owner and parent company of the National Enquirer) for trying to extort him to stop his investigation into how they got their hands on his intimate private text messages.
First, here’s the letter AMI sent Bezos, which he published today:
From: Howard, Dylan [[email protected]] (Chief Content Officer, AMI)
Sent: Tuesday, February 5, 2019 3:33 PM
To: Martin Singer (litigation counsel for Mr. de Becker)
Subject:. Jeff Bezos & Ms. Lauren Sanchez PhotosCONFIDENTIAL & NOT FOR DISTRIBIUTION
Marty:
I am leaving the office for the night. I will be available on my cell — 917 XXX-XXXX.
However, in the interests of expediating this situation, and with The Washington Post poised to publish unsubstantiated rumors of The National Enquirer’s initial report, I wanted to describe to you the photos obtained during our newsgathering.
In addition to the “below the belt selfie — otherwise colloquially known as a ‘d*ck pick’” — The Enquirer obtained a further nine images. These include:
· Mr. Bezos face selfie at what appears to be a business meeting.
· Ms. Sanchez response — a photograph of her smoking a cigar in what appears to be a simulated oral sex scene.
· A shirtless Mr. Bezos holding his phone in his left hand — while wearing his wedding ring. He’s wearing either tight black cargo pants or shorts — and his semi-erect manhood is penetrating the zipper of said garment.
· A full-length body selfie of Mr. Bezos wearing just a pair of tight black boxer-briefs or trunks, with his phone in his left hand — while wearing his wedding ring.
· A selfie of Mr. Bezos fully clothed.
· A full-length scantily-clad body shot with short trunks.
· A naked selfie in a bathroom — while wearing his wedding ring. Mr. Bezos is wearing nothing but a white towel — and the top of his pubic region can be seen.
· Ms. Sanchez wearing a plunging red neckline dress revealing her cleavage and a glimpse of her nether region.
· Ms. Sanchez wearing a two-piece red bikini with gold detail dress revealing her cleavage.
It would give no editor pleasure to send this email. I hope common sense can prevail — and quickly.
Dylan.
Bezos points out that while AMI is trying to blackmail him with these photos to stop his investigation and the upcoming article in the Washington Post, they are also involved in a deal working with the DOJ on matters relating to Trump.
As Yashar Ali notes…
2. Jeff Bezos, the wealthiest man in the world (who happens to be CEO of the 2nd most valuable company in the world), published an email from a top AMI exec noting that they had Bezos' dick pics and threatening to publish them. I will never get over this. https://t.co/811QBShZd7 pic.twitter.com/ldUWYqGPDq

3. I mean the fact that David Pecker and AMI were attempting to blackmail the richest man in the world while they are cooperating with the US Attorney on the Trump investigation is something else. I mean….I will truly never get over this post. https://t.co/811QBShZd7

You think maybe the Justice Department will have a few questions for Pecker?
Here’s more…
From the AMI nonprosecution agreement. https://t.co/vsGdEVoqN3 pic.twitter.com/OjdYhXixky

The important part of that is where it says that if AMI commits any crimes after they enter into this agreement with the DOJ, that will nullify their immunity and they can be prosecuted.
Woops!
Well it looks like Bezos may have just ruined David Pecker’s life!
