JEFF BEZOS | BAD MAN — BAD JUDGMENT

The Lawsuit Proof Facts Jeff Bezos Doesn’t Want You To See Are PUBLIC RECORD.

Michael Sanchez — November 3, 2024 (updated May 20, 2026)

With my future-brother-in-law Jeff Bezos’ bad judgment on full display due to his hysterically inept mishandling of the Washington Post election interference and Met Gala debacles, I thought an old-fashioned Op Ed in his newspaper would be the best way to expose the truth about the autistic puppet and his puppet master — my sociopathic sister Lauren Sanchez. So, I wrote a letter to the Editors of New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post.

In a not-so-shocking twist, all three have refused to publish my letter, refuse to correct their prior false reporting, and have ignored my offer of full, unfettered access to all evidence proving the totally suppressed lies, crimes, and misdeeds committed by the richest and most famous couple on the planet; including Bezos’ Perjury to cover-up Lauren’s false, extortionate allegation that I sexually abused her throughout our childhood.

Because of the journalistic malpractice at New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post, I’ve updated a prior Medium essay which shines a bright hot spotlight on Jeff Bezos’ bad judgment and bad character. Here it is:

Fame-obsessed billionaire Jeff Bezos was born Jeffrey Preston Jorgensen in Albuquerque, NM on February 12, 1964. His teenage parents Ted Jorgensen (19) and Jacklyn Jorgensen née Gise (17) ended their tumultuous marriage in 1965. Bitter Jacklyn forced Ted to cease all contact with his son. Without missing a beat, Jacklyn quickly remarried Mike Bezos, who adopted Jeff in 1968. In one of the most brutal examples of bad judgment, in 2018 Bezos refused his dying biological father’s wish to simply meet his son.

Although he’s on the autism spectrum, Bezos was a brilliant student, fixated on outer space. In his graduation speech, he shared dreams of getting all people off of earth and turning it into a huge national park. In July 2021, after pumping billions into Blue Origin, his private space exploration venture, Bezos’ obsession with being the first billionaire in space was thwarted by Richard Branson … a humiliating defeat which exposed Bezos’ bad judgment.

In 1993, Bezos pursued a romantic relationship with MacKenzie Tuttle, a subordinate at hedge fund D.E. Shaw where Bezos was a Vice President. Although there’s still some debate over the bad judgment Bezos displayed by pursuing romance with a subordinate, the couple quickly married a few months later. Then, based on Bezos’ “bright” idea of selling books out of his garage, the couple founded Cadabra (later renamed Amazon) — with a $300,000 “investment” from Bezos’ parents.

In one of the worst examples of Bezos’ bad judgment, the book selling venture lost billions. In 2000, as cash balances dipped to $350 million, Bezos borrowed $2 Billion from banks. In 2002, due to the financial distress caused by overspending — to turn Amazon into “the everything store,” the company nearly went bankrupt; forcing the closure of distribution centers and the layoff of 14% of its workforce.

As luck would have it, also in 2002, Amazon launched Amazon Web Services (AWS) which compiled data from weather channels and website traffic. With profits from AWS making up for the massive losses at Amazon, the company survived. Without the lucky break of AWS (i.e., being able to sell excess web storage space and other computing services to the CIA, government agencies, and businesses and governments around the world), Amazon likely would’ve failed.

With AWS fueling Bezos’ wealth, Bezos increased spending at Blue Origin. Meanwhile, due to creative accounting and exploitation of outdated tax laws, Amazon has frequently been accused of tax avoidance and taking advantage of “corporate welfare.”

In an example of repeat bad judgment, on December 12, 2018 on his South Texas ranch, Bezos began an extramarital affair with Lauren Sanchez, one of his employees. (Note: the extramarital affair began in 2018, NOT 2019 as the Jeff Bezos Protection Racket coerced lazy “journalists” to report). At the time, Sanchez was the semi-famous, serial cheater wife of powerful media mogul Patrick Whitesell. And in a bizarre twist, Sanchez had just ended a long-term extramarital love affair with handsome, charismatic, mega billionaire Dan Friedkin; while simultaneously engaged in a long-term sexual affair with her gorgeous flight instructor, Ryan Antoon.

Within weeks, despite Bezos’ sexual performance issues, Sanchez accepted his marriage proposal. That’s right, despite their fake and phony “engagement” PR stunts, the shameless narcissists were engaged in 2018. Whether Bezos’ decision to propose to a cunning gold digger while still married to his loyal wife qualifies as bad judgment is up to readers to decide. But the asinine lengths the cheating couple went to, all to cover up their reckless affair definitely qualifies as bad judgement. Included is an expensive Blue Origin documentary and $25 Million Amazon Superbowl commercial; commissioned by Bezos, with Sanchez paid from corporate funds, a la Reille Hunter and John Edwards.

In an example of bad judgment which is likely criminal, throughout 2018, Bezos shared material nonpublic information with his mistress about Amazon’s stellar performance and pending investment in Rivian. Unaware of the illegality of acting on nonpublic information, Lauren shared insider info with family & friends. Bezos also sent his cunning mistress numerous nude, pornographic dick pic photos, which she secretly saved behind his back as “blackmail materials” (i.e., Lauren saved them just in case MacKenzie was successful in her efforts to pull Bezos back to his family using famed therapists Judy & Rae).

In October 2018, Lauren threatened to leak the affair to her reliable ally Harvey Levin at sleazy tabloid TMZ if I wouldn’t. I talked her down, but her desperation to marry Bezos was palpable. Then, December 2018, in an example of jealousy-induced bad judgement, Bezos threatened to confront baseball Hall-of-Famer Alex Rodriquez, Jennifer Lopez’ fiancé, after learning ARod tried to rekindle his sexual affair with Sanchez in September 2018 during New York Fashion Week.

On January 9, 2019, with the inevitable cheating scandal about to break, guided by CIA-connected fixer Gavin de Becker, the man who, regardless of sources, failed to protect the privacy of the richest man in the world, Bezos published a dishonest “divorce” tweet falsely claiming he and MacKenzie had “a long period of loving exploration and trial separation.” Bad judgment. Bad lie. Desperate to cover up his alleged leaks and collusion with the Publisher and Editor of The National Enquirer; two men operating under a criminal non-prosecution agreement with the FBI, Whitesell leaked the Bezos cheating scandal to NY Post’s sleazy tabloid Page Six.

Weeks later, Bezos publicly revealed the criminals at The National Enquirer were blackmailing him with the dick pics he sent his mistress. This launched an FBI investigation and federal Grand Jury; forcing Bezos to enter into a secret non-hostility Agreement with the criminals who blackmailed him.

With violations of Amazon’s Code of Conduct forcing the company to scrap the completed $25 Million Superbowl commercial, a Grand Jury investigation in motion, potential SEC insider trading violations / shareholder lawsuits, de Becker’s colossal failure, etc., Bezos and de Becker needed a distraction. So, they launched a never-ending “blank check” Whodunit? — purportedly to determine the source who provided Bezos’ dick pics to The National Enquirer. To kick off the massive distraction, de Becker “anonymously” leaked a fake and phony “politically motivated” conservative conspiracy theory claiming I was involved in a plot to take down Bezos to please President Trump.

When the ridiculous conservative conspiracy theory collapsed under its own weight, de Becker and Bezos pivoted to a nonsensical smoke-n-mirrors hack by Mohammad bin Salman, the future King of Saudi Arabia. And the “Amazon Investigators” report de Becker used to frame MbS has never been published. Hmmm…

After I was pushed under the bus for my successful strategy to delay and soften the inevitable scandal — a plan both Jeff and Lauren were aware of and approved long before the scandal broke — I received a $6 Million global settlement offer which I agreed to accept — to protect my family. The deal fell through due to Malpractice and Fraud by my attorneys — induced by the criminals at The National Enquirer. FYI, my Breach of Fiduciary Duty lawsuit was recently ordered to Arbitration by Judge Mark Epstein — with the corrupt Defendants paying all costs.

Confused by the aborted global settlement, and mistakenly convinced that her brother and “best friend” was coming after her no matter what, Lauren did the unthinkable. She falsely accused me — her gay brother and “best friend” — of childhood incest rape. I immediately reported the extortionate lie to the FBI. After an FBI investigation and Criminal referral to the U.S. Attorney, Lauren still refused to apologize. So I sued her and her corrupt attorney, Terry Bird, for Extortion. Even after admitting in Court that her monstrous lie was just “a negotiation tactic,” Lauren has still refused to apologize. Sadly, due to Malpractice by my attorney, the Extortion claim was dismissed in a flawed anti-SLAPP ruling by deeply biased Judge Mark A. Young in which he claimed the extortionate lie is protected by California’s grotesque Litigation Privilege.

In another example of Bezos’ bad judgment, after initially believing Lauren’s monstrous lie, Bezos committed Perjury. In a sworn Declaration, Bezos falsely claimed he knows nothing about The National Enquirer’s sources. Written evidence proves that not only does Bezos have information about sources (due to his “blank check” investigation), he discussed sources in writing, and on a legally recorded phone call.

Bezos even proposed the boneheaded idea of coercing MacKenzie Bezos to be a source; all to mitigate the damage from his sordid extramarital affair, and to deflect from his other lies and misdeeds.

Now, despite his ownership of Washington Post and Business Insider; as well as almost total control over the worldwide media, best evidenced by The Information’s catch-and-kill of Amy Odell’s completed in-depth exposé on Lyin’ Lauren’s gold digging climb; and Anna Wintour’s Vogue and Met Gala sell outs — the public mocks the “fame whores” grotesque display of wealth, egomaniacal “philanthropy,” asinine climate change hypocrisy, and what appears to be another example of arrogant, shameless, tone deaf tax avoidance (e.g., “we’re moving from Seattle to Miami” PR stunt — despite the fact that the couple, who’ve purchased homes in Beverly Hills, Washington D.C., Maui, New York, etc., spend little time at their Miami estate).

Soon, with or without my help, and with a big assist from Bezos’ chronic bad judgment, including his moronic mishandling of the Washington Post endorsement debacle (i.e., historic election interference), and the comical Met Gala debacle, the floodgates of truth will burst open. Then, just like Harvey Weinstein, the world will learn the sordid truth about Jeff Bezos and his evil, “Jekyll & Hyde” puppet master, Lauren Sanchez.

The fact that Bezos was so confident in his total control over the fraud “journalists” at Washington Post that he paraded his mistress around the WaPo printing press operation in December 2018, a month before the cheating scandal broke, speaks volumes about Bezos’ bad judgment. So do the recordings of Bezos boasting about keeping his closeted conservatism: “He probably thinks I’m a left coast liberal… and I’m actually not.”

Bezos’ colossal mistakes during the endorsement and Met Gala debacles have fully exposed his bad judgment and arrogance. Really think about it… As the few credible journalists at Washington Post are resigning in protest of his bad judgment, Bezos forced the remaining fraud “journalists” to publish his asinine and tone-deaf Op Ed defending his grotesque rape of sacred journalistic principles.

Although they’ve been able to suppress the truth about the lies, crimes, and misdeeds which destroyed my business and reputation, I’m grateful Karma is finally starting to catch up to the bamboozled billionaire and his sociopath wife. Thanks to their arrogance and bad judgment, soon the whole world will know: Jeff Bezos & Lauren Sanchez are worse than Harvey Weinstein.

Until then, unless Bezos, Lauren stop telling lies about me, I will continue to tell the truth about them…

SPOILER ALERT: Lauren is NOT “3rd generation Mexican” and we did NOT “come from nothing” as she falsely claims, again and again.

For the avoidance of doubt, this is real journalism — even if the Jeff Bezos Protection Racket is able to suppress its coverage. And, to be clear, if Beozs and Lauren sincerely apologize for the false and defamatory lies and conspiracy theories which destroyed my reputation and business, I will never mention their names again. Period. Full stop.

Stay tuned…

IT’S ALL PUBLIC RECORD — BUT TOTALLY SUPPRESSED BY THE JEFF BEZOS PROTECTION RACKET. #JOURNALI$M
