The billionaire owner of the Milwaukee Bucks was allegedly blackmailed by a Chinese-born divorcée after he hooked up with her — and she demanded half his fortune and hid compromising material in a box of sanitary pads, according to federal prosecutors.
Wesley Edens, 64, who is also the co-founder of Wall Street investment firm Fortress Investment Group and owner of the Aston Villa soccer team, had sex with Changli “Sophia” Luo, 46, after she slid into his LinkedIn DMs in 2022, according to federal prosecutors and the Wall Street Journal reported.
After Edens, who was newly divorced, had a night of passion at Luo’s Manhattan apartment, she sent him a desperate love letter — and then became progressively more deranged when he did not respond, prosecutors said.

Not like the movies, nowadays
The John is considered “prey”. There is usually a pimp or a handler for the girl looking for an opportunity to get more from the John. If it’s 25 bucks, there is something else going on that will surprise you.
You have a lot to learn boy. You better stfu
She’s lucky she did this here. Chinese sometimes executes people for crimes like this.
A loser?
Because he had sex with a divorced Chinese woman?
What’s loser about that?
He’s been a highly successful man.
Plus he reported the woman to FBI who are currently dealing with her.
Women love other people’s money too much.
She’d love to be another Ashley St Claire but she’s probably too old to have kids.
She's Asian, so it's more like 26.
Truth hurts, loser.
You don’t have to be like this.
**Women love other people’s money too much.**
What’s sad is that is their one marketable commodity.
Jane Fonda peddled her looks for a good life. Those women who are not so hot will lose in a man’s world unless they use their brain. It’s doable but if they have the hot bod they have a reason to get lazy. I think Bill Belichick should get a vasectomy.
.....as one of my former co-workers used to say, “There is no cure for stupid...”....yes, this guy got played like a cheap fiddle...I hope his relationship with this grifter was worth it....
Brain?
I read it. I still don’t see what evidence she had for successful blackmail.
All the incredibly beautiful Chinese women in the world, and these rich guys and politicians all seem get taken down by ones who barely rise to mediocre in appearance.
Ladyboy???
Not a happy ending
I would advise slutty men to never marry..and get your vasectomies...that way these inconviences like fidelity won’t matter.
Where there is two or more of ccp mainland chinese gathered together there is theft and graft..........
It’s ingrained in their minds, their bodies, culturally, intellectually and by government decree.
To be absolutely frank it only takes one of them....
They believe if you ain’t lying, you ain’t tryin!....
Fang Fang chuckles
