He then contacted David Hans Schmidt, 47, who was known for peddling nude pictures and sex tapes of celebrities

That must have been a heck of a wedding

Via Foxnews.com “Schmidt pleaded guilty to transmitting threatening communications with intent to extort. He hanged himself in September.”

Talk about a bad idea gone really really bad.

Not the usual input I seek from your blog. If I may offer some constructive criticisim from my untrained ass. I really enjoy the photo editorial information and opinions versus posts such as these and the colorado lawmaker stuff.

Just saying, that’s all.

I’m sure Scientology brought him to justice. I’m enjoying all these links, as well as your photo editorial information; keep it up.
