BMW heiress Susanne Klatten reportedly blackmailed again in sex-tape scandal encore
Susanne Klatten is learning what it's like to live a recurring nightmare. Last year, the heiress to BMW's controversial controlling Quandt family fortune was blackmailed by Helg Sgarbi, a conman who seduced her into a two month affair and subsequently threatened to distribute video footage of their encounters to the public if she didn't hand over a payment of some 50 million Euros. Klatten refused and instead went to the police, resulting in a six-year jail sentence for Sgarbi. Germany's wealthiest woman – a married mother of three – endured the embarrassment in the pursuit of justice and a refusal to acquiesce, but that wasn't the end of it, as Bloomberg is reporting that another set of fraudsters has attempted a copycat performance.
Apparently, a group of three men contacted Klatten claiming to have the tapes and demanded she fork over 800,000 euros (about $1.13 million USD) in a BMW X5 or they'd release the tapes to the public. Evidently, the three men failed to learn about Klatten's determination from Sgarbi's mistakes and they, too, were arrested. Police reportedly got the drop on the blackmailers as they argued over who would drive the X5. It remains unclear, however, if the three extortionists even had possession of any such tapes.

I finally found the thing, most of the sites I've seen are scams but they're streaming the video over at http://408passion.com/watch282.html (it's free but I have no idea how long it'll stay up obviously) if it stops working they uploaded a backup to http://408passion.com/file2018451.html

Did you even read the article? From what I read I would be praying for DAUGHTERS only.
She had more balls and guts than any of those four (1+3) idiots that tried blackmailing her!

"demanded she fork over 800,000 euros (about $1.13 million USD) in a BMW X5"
What if she had delivered them the money in an X6?

800,000 euros doesn't fit in an X6.

ohh c'mon, i might not let her eat crackers in bed but still... i'd blackmail her.
RamblinReck89 9:38AM (7/22/2009)
Hey, if she'd be my sugar momma, she could eat anything she wanted. As far as videos go though, they can keep 'em. There's better stuff out there that doesn't require mention of an X5.

... what some people would do for an X5.
this sounds like the plot to a dumb-criminal movie...Thieves planning to get more than $1 mil by blackmailing a public figure after landing accross a sex-tape, then getting caught at the very end because they were too busy arguing over who gets to drive the getaway car that they didn't see the policeman creep up behind them.
The plot to 'Snatch 2' perhaps?
