What's with that eye, though? I saw some before and after photos of Bezos, like the early days of Amazon vs what he looks like now. He didn't used to be so strange looking. And both his eyes looked just fine, same size and everything. Now he kind of looks like Popeye. What's going on here? Is this a steroid thing or something neurological? Or can lazy eye develop later on in life? I thought it was something that afflicted younger people.
Bezos made 70 billion, he can make 70 billion more.
He didn't build that. Amazon makes some money from AWS contracts. The rest of it doesn't turn a profit. So where does the money come from? Share price. Awfully big share price for a company that doesn't turn a profit.
This article doesn't mention Amazon, but it does mention some of the other US funded tech companies. I say US funded because the CIA does have taxpayer funded venture capital funds such as In-Q-Tel.
So, Google, Facebook, etc. We own that. And maybe we own Amazon, too.

You must be looking at some old figures. Amazon retail division is quite profitable now.
Correct. I had old data. A constant mantra from the financial media that "Amazon doesn't turn a profit". See how that works?
I've never purchased or sold anything from there, but everyone I know who had a Prime membership has let theirs go. They tell me it's not like it used to be. LOL, that's what happens when a company has to turn a profit. Things change.
So now reports are the Sanchez’s brother is the one who got the photos and sold to NE/AMI and supposedly he has sold them stories for years
About others
It doesn't matter from whom they purchased the emails and photos, they used them to attempt to extort Bezos. Sanchez's brother may be in legal trouble as well.
My conjecture: evidence gathered from Rodger Stone may play a role in this. I have heard that he is a friend of Sanchez's brother.

It wouldn't hurt my feelings if this took down NE/AMI. However, when it comes to the law, things are never as they seem, unfortunately. If in fact they'd entered into some sort of negotiation with an eye to a legal settlement, what looks to us like extortion is in fact a sort of "you show me yours, we'll show you ours, if you do X, we'll do Y." So it's not clear, which is par for the course when it comes to the law. Money didn't seem to be a part of it, or maybe I'm missing something.
I had the same thought you did about Roger Stone. I wondered if this had something to do with what looked like a ridiculous and unnecessary raid, in which case there might have been good reason to do it the way they did.
We'll know soon enough, I guess. If we don't hear anything further for a bit, then some sort of settlement has likely taken place.
