AMC CEO Aron Says He Was the Victim of a Criminal Extortion Plot

Adam Aron, the outspoken chairman and chief executive officer of AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc., said he was the victim of a failed extortion plot last year related to “false allegations” about his personal life.

Aron said he reported the matter to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the US Department of Justice, according to a post on X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter. The AMC board reviewed the events with outside counsel, according to Aron, and the matter is now “closed.”
