"Of course I don't want personal photos published, but I also won't participate in their well-known practice of blackmail, political favours, political attacks and corruption," Bezos wrote.Bezos said he was at first verbally approached by AMI representatives threatening to release further photos and text messages unless he would drop his investigation.
When Bezos didn't immediately respond, AMI put their threats in writing. "Rather than capitulate to extortion and blackmail, I've decided to publish exactly what they sent me, despite the personal cost and embarrassment they threaten," Bezos wrote.
