Man tries to extort $1.5 million from Oprah

oprah winfreyAccording to several Chicago-area newspapers, the FBI has arrested a man who allegedly tried to blackmail Oprah's company for $1.5 million. It's a little confusing but I'll try to explain it. The feds say 36-year old Keifer Bonvillain met one of Oprah's employees at a party and began recording their subsequent telephone conversations about Oprah and her business. After getting 12 hours of tape, Bonvillain allegedly e-mailed Oprah about the awful things his employee-friend said about her. He also threatened to write a tell-all book, claiming he'd received offers from tabloids and publishers. Oprah's company apparently 'agreed' to pay him $1.5 million in exchange for the tapes. He agreed to a meeting spot to collect the dough and-- presto!-- the FBI nabbed him. I wonder if Oprah ever knew about it until the conclusion.
