No....and IMO, the jury is out on the second one. Again it's not related to this case and I'm not wanting to derail it, but it has a lot to do with incidents that have happened over the years at the local jail that is under his jurisdiction. How he has handled them has not been satisfactory for many people.
It will just give Nanos headaches is all.
Yes, the specific item is interesting. Also, in that last TMZ video they said that they had confirmed that the Bitcoin address was legitimate. I don't know enough about Bitcoin to know if that's significant or not.
I think you’re spot on 1000%!
Uh....I wouldn't put stock into either of these two people you're showing. Both are really shooting from the hip IMO

Criminals Using Altered Proof-of-Life Media to Extort Victims in Virtual Kidnapping for Ransom Scams
Alert Number: I-120525-PSA
Questions regarding this PSA should be directed to your local FBI field office.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) warns the public about criminals altering photos found on social media or other publicly available sites to use as fake proof of life photos in virtual kidnapping for ransom scams. The criminal actors pose as kidnappers and provide seemingly real photos or videos of victims along with demands for ransom payments.
The Scam
Criminal actors typically will contact their victims through text message claiming they have kidnapped their loved one and demand a ransom be paid for their release. Oftentimes, the criminal actor will express significant claims of violence towards the loved one if the ransom is not paid immediately. The criminal actor will then send what appears to be a genuine photo or video of the victim’s loved one, which upon close inspection often reveals inaccuracies when compared to confirmed photos of the loved one. Examples of these inaccuracies include missing tattoos or scars and inaccurate body proportions. Criminal actors will sometimes purposefully send these photos using timed message features to limit the amount of time victims have to analyze the images
off topic, but every time I see NG my brain goes to Nancy Grace and it's so hard to pull my brain back and go a different connection lol
Nancy Guthrie's Kidnapping TMZ Gets Alleged Ransom Note Demanding Big $$$ In Bitcoin
Another scary twist in the disappearance of "TODAY" host Savannah Guthrie's kidnapped mother ... TMZ has received an alleged ransom note demanding payment for the release of Nancy Guthrie.
The note, which was sent to us Tuesday morning, demands a specific substantial amount of Bitcoin ... the amount is in the millions, and the note demands the cryptocurrency be sent to a specific Bitcoin address.
TMZ has verified the Bitcoin address is real.
There is a deadline connected to the alleged ransom ... and an element of "or else."
In the moment on our live stream above, Harvey and Charles said she was wearing the item. In fact, the note says she was not wearing it.
The alleged ransom note also describes an item the sender says was damaged at her Tucson-area home.
We forwarded the alleged ransom demand to the Pima County sheriff.

Exactly. I used love him in The People's Court days and didn't mind him for awhile on TMZ but then he kinda lost me with the way he went about things and pushed his bias a bit! I still think he knows his legal stuff for sure though.
