Kevin Hart was targeted by a sophisticated team of criminals and we’re told they planned out a chain of events to get the comedian on camera and then attempted to extort him for over $10 million dollars.
Sources close to the investigation tell us cops believe they have identified the woman in the alleged sex tape as a person of interest, but believe she is one part of a “well-orchestrated, highly sophisticated set-up with multiple accomplices.”

The messages were sent via encrypted IP addresses using servers based outside the U.S. We’re told the group of suspects went to “great lengths to mask their identity and location.”
