Wesley Edens, owner of Aston Villa, went through a complicated episode with Changli “Sophia” Luo, a woman with whom he had a sexual encounter after getting divorced and who would bring him more than a few problems.
After the encounter, she sent him several threats explaining that her home had cameras and that she would leak the videos in question, demanding large sums of money. Under pressure, the also owner of the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks gave in, agreeing to pay 6,5 million dollars.
But Luo’s demand increased to 1.250 billion, prompting FBI agents to search her apartment and find two cell phones that revealed the situation: Edens’s face had been digitally altered to extort him.
