Man Trafficking Celebrities Photos Arrested by FBI

It seems that there are two types of people that can earn lots of money without striving too much. The actors could be considered as making part from the first category, because they like too much their job. They just love it and seem not to consider it in fact a job; for them acting appears to be a way of living their lives.

On the other hand, the high-class thieves make part from the second category. Between these two types of rich people it doesn’t seem to be too much difference. Both the actors and the thieves’ categories love their career; they all earn a lot of money from it, and they all are life-long learners. However, the most important difference between an actor and a high-class thief is that the thief could be making its money by stealing from the actor.

At least this has been the case of David Hans Schmidt, who could be considered a high-class thief, as he’s occupation was trafficking photos of the celebrities. However, it seems that the guy hasn’t learned too much about the FBI’s secret ways of tracking down people and he has been forced to give away his job for some time in prison.

David Hans Schmidt has been finally arrested by the FBI agents after he reportedly tried to sell Tom Cruise the photos of the actor’s November 2006 wedding to actress Katie Holmes. He demanded more than $1 million for the photos, which had been stolen from the actor’s private collection.

Although neither Tom Cruise nor Katie Holmes had an official comment about this fact, the actor’s attorney said that the thief first approached Cruise earlier this year, telling him that he had the photos from the wedding and that he wanted to deal. Then Tom Cruise reportedly contacted the federal authorities.

David Hans Schmidt is now being held on a $100,000 bond.
