He reportedly told her to put the money in a brown Trader Joe's bag in a planter at a building on Fairfax Ave in Hollywood.
Louch immediately called the LAPD, who then planned a sting operation. A woman ended up picking up the bag of money and was swarmed by police.
The woman was named Jamie Munoz and she said "she knew she was picking up money for someone who was threatening to post nude photos, but she says she wasn't part of the plot."
The man who reportedly threatened Louch was named Nicholas Douglas from Vancouver. Police are still looking for Nicholas Douglas and if he's the hacker. Munoz pleaded guilty to attempted extortion and got 3 years probation and community.
Jennifer Lawrence was one of the first A-List victims of the celebrity photo hacking scandal. The Hunger Games star recently spoke out on the case to Vanity Fair magazine.
"Every single thing that I tried to write made me cry or get angry. I started to write an apology, but I don't have anything to say I'm sorry for. I was in a loving, healthy, great relationship for four years," Lawrence said (via E!). "It was long distance, and either your boyfriend is going to look at porn or he's going to look at you."
