You know who wins the best these days? The extortionists! The latest news say that former supermodel Cindy Crawford and her entrepreneur husband Rande Gerber were the victims of one extortionist.The man asked $100,000 from the couple over a photo of their then 7-year-old daughter bound to a chair. According to The Associated Press, the man got arrested. He was an acquaintance of the couple’s former nanny and he was threatening to sell the photo taken by the nanny. The man's name is Edis Kayalar and  he lives in Germany . It seems that Cindy's daughter told her parents about the photo that was taken as part of a "cops and robbers" game.
"A criminal complaint was filed today in federal court in Los Angeles by the U.S. Attorney's office and the FBI stating that Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford have been the victims of an on-going extortion scheme.This crime has been committed by Edis Kayalar, an acquaintance of a former nanny employed by the family. Mr. Kayalar threatened to sell an image taken of the couple's then-seven-year-old daughter. There was no previous awareness by Mr. Gerber and Ms. Crawford of the existence of the photograph when they were contacted by Mr. Kayalar. The photo was taken by the former nanny as part of a purported game without the knowledge of the parents. The couple reported the extortion threat to the police and the FBI began a criminal investigation in the matter. Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford intend to pursue any and all available legal action against anyone who aids the perpetrator in the distribution or sale of the photograph of their daughter", Crawford’s spokeswoman Annett Wolfsaid in a statement Thursday.
