He keeps them in a vault at an offsite location.

There was a break in at one of the homes of this very very wealthy actor who has the last name that reeks of money. Apparently someone was trying to find the secret stash of the s.e.x. tapes featuring the A+ list leader of a state . He doesn't keep them in any of his houses. He keeps them in a vault at an offsite location.

He isn’t going anywhere.

This state A++ lister isn't going anywhere. So, why did the money laundering streaming service just give him all that money? To grease the wheels for all the purchases they want to make here in Los Angeles.

Compromised

It could be the ultimate honey trap. The trap part though generally requires the person to feel some type of guilt they were trapped. That is the part that gives the blackmailing person or government the leverage. In this case though, this permanent A list celebrity in his area of the country was happy to be honey trapped as much as companies or governments wanted. He has an understanding with his wife, so he wasn't going to be shamed or blackmailed.

These two people are complete opposites on the political spectrum.

I mean it isn't like the WWI Christmas Day truce, but I think if you went up to random people and asked if these two people would ever get along, you would laugh until you started crying. These two people are complete opposites on the political spectrum. One is way way over on the left and one is way way over on the right. There is one thing that brings them together. One. It is what makes them very unlikely bedfellows.

The battle over these tapes has been going on for just about two decades.

Everyone knows they exist. That is not a secret. Well, I mean, it is a secret to most people but not the participants or those close to them. This is not a hidden camera thing. The battle over these tapes has been going on for just about two decades. What do the tapes contain? Lots of sex and a whole lot of coke. For the first few years after the recordings were made, this A list politician tried to acquire them from his best friend who also happened to make the recordings.
