2 are accused of plotting to extort $1million from Cruise
David Hans Schmidt, known for brokering deals involving compromising celebrity photos and videos, and Marc Lewis Gittleman were arrested this past week, according to a criminal complaint.
Gittleman, of West Hollywood, obtained photos of the actor's wedding in Italy last year to Katie Holmes from the event's official photographer, the complaint said.
The photographer, identified as Joshua Bobrove, reportedly had taken a damaged computer hard drive containing the wedding photos to Gittleman to employ his services as a data recovery expert.
Gittleman then made copies of photos on the drive and kept them for himself, authorities said. They said he contacted Schmidt after finding a Web site touting his abilities to broker celebrity photos.
