Milwaukee Bucks co-owner and private equity investor Wesley Edens has been revealed as the man at the center of an alleged blackmail and extortion plot.
The saga allegedly began in 2022 when entrepreneur Changli “Sophia” Luo sent a LinkedIn message to Edens, a recently divorced billionaire, the Wall Street Journal reports. The exchange led to a series of meetings, culminating in the pair having sex during their third meetup at Luo’s Manhattan apartment in June 2023.
Prosecutors allege that Luo, 46, tried to extort more than $1 billion from 64-year-old Edens, threatening to release videos and photos of the pair having sex.
