Dana en de sextape afpersing.
.
UFC President Dana White was named in a lawsuit filed late Friday as the alleged prominent Las Vegas businessman victimized in a $200,000 sex-tape extortion.
His name was included in the Clark County District Court lawsuit filed against White by the man who served time for the sensational crime.
White, 50, who has prominent Republican connections and is globally known, runs the Las Vegas-based Ultimate Fighting Championship, the largest mixed martial arts organization in the world.
The man charged in the extortion scheme, Ernesto Joshua Ramos, ended up pleading guilty in federal court and served a 366-day prison sentence.
Ramos on Friday accused White in his lawsuit of breaking a deal in April 2016 to pay him $450,000 in return for not disclosing White’s name after the criminal case closed.
Ramos, 42, a real estate agent and personal trainer, also claims in the suit that he did not demand money from White. And he alleges White’s lawyers provided false derogatory information about him to the FBI to get agents to investigate Ramos on extortion charges.
White and the other defendants have not yet had the opportunity to respond to the allegations in court.
In a statement Saturday, White said:
“I just found out that a b———- lawsuit was filed against me yesterday. This guy went to federal prison for trying to extort me over five years ago. Now he’s hired a lawyer who is also a convicted felon, and he’s trying to extort me again for $10 million. He got no money from me last time and he won’t be getting any money from me this time. I look forward to the court dismissing this quickly so I can get rid of these scumbags forever.”
Multiple attempts Saturday to reach White’s lawyer, Don Campbell, have been unsuccessful.
