Dear God, now it is back to square one with this soap opera. The brother denies he leaked the texts and pics. Says it was probably a girlfriend of Lauren Sanchez, to whom Lauren forwarded the information, because she was "in love". THAT was the original theory.

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-...ers-new-theory

"We discussed the possibility to buy A.M.I.—not to kill the story, but to find out the source. They said that’s not a bad idea. We discussed numbers and the name of the LLC that we’d use. It would be called BOBO LCC”—short for Lauren’s helicopter filming company, Black Ops, and Bezos’s space company, Blue Origin—“that’s the level of detail we went into," said Michael Sanchez.

Instead of executing that plan - which would have included Michael flying to New York on January 8 to meet with Enquirer editor Dylan Howard - Bezos hired powerhouse Los Angeles lawyer Marty Singer. The next day, Bezos tweeted that he was divorcing his wife MacKenzie.

Michael Sanchez blamed de Becker, the security chief, for Bezos' change of heart for "selfish motives."

Sanchez says he and de Becker have had beef with each other ever since the Enquirer published the Bezos story.

"Lauren calls it a cockfight," said Michael."

Does this mean they're going to re-open the investigation?

And this: "But Michael Sanchez said Bezos and de Becker are framing the scandal as a pro-Trump political hit job to distract the public from a far simpler story: Bezos cheated on his wife and de Becker’s security apparatus couldn’t prevent Bezos from being caught. Michael said de Becker’s judgment is clouded because he has been trying to break Lauren and Bezos up to protect MacKenzie Bezos, a close de Becker friend. De Becker reportedly told Bezos to agree to a 30-day physical separation from Lauren." -Vanity Fair

Not at all. Regardless of who leaked the text messages, the Enquirer tried to use the information for malicious intent.

Like, DUH! That's the entire stock in trade of the Enquirer, and has been ever since it was founded. What, you think it used to publish encyclopedias and suddenly went off the reservation? Since when has the Enquirer EVER published anything that WASN'T malicious content? Geezo-Beezo

This doesn't get the characters at the National Enquirer off the hook for extortion.

Absolutely not. I'd love to find some news on how that effort is going. For sure Bezos is suing them, isn't he? And perhaps this is one of the things that has come out from discovery, confirmation that the brother did it?
