away, instead I'll let you check out the article below
and you let me know what you think.
The Web site Smoking Gun is reporting that gossip site TMZ.com paid $165,000 to a witness in the O.J. Simpson armed robbery case for a copy of an audiotape he secretly made during the incident in a Las Vegas hotel room.
TMZ.com reportedly made the transaction last September, within days of the violent encounter between Simpson, his posse and two businessmen Alfred Beardsley and Bruce Fromong.
Smoking Gun reports: Riccio, who orchestrated the Palace Station meeting, used a digital recorder to memorialize the confrontation, and then immediately contacted TMZ to negotiate a sale of the audio evidence. While he initially sought $2 million, Riccio settled for the six-figure payout, which is still likely the largest sum paid by a gossip site for a story.
In its original report about the tape, TMZ stated that it had "obtained" the recordings, avoiding any mention that their procurement was secured by a $165,000 check delivered to Riccio's Los Angeles home.
