Jeff Bezos lookalike arrives at Amazon event
A professional impersonator of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos arrived at a celebration in Micheldorf, Upper Austria, attended by Austrian toolmaker Haidlmair. The party was held to mark Haidlmair's biggest contract with Amazon, which involved 170 injection molds and a delivery of standardized containers for Amazon logistics centers. Three masked, heavily armed Austrian police officers, from the Schnelle Interventionsgruppe (SIG) unit, provided security for the event.
The impersonator, who identifies himself on LinkedIn as a "Jeff Bezos double," was hired for the occasion by Haidlmair's boss, Mario Haidlmair. The unusual security deployment has raised concerns over possible misuse of office, and the matter has been referred to Austria’s Parliament and Green Party for inquiry.
