Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's Venetian wedding continues to be targeted by local protestors. On Wednesday, June 25, protestors placed a dummy in Bezos’ likeness in a Venice canal. The dummy, which clutched onto a large rectangular Amazon box and held fistfuls of cash, was dressed in a blue Amazon worker’s jumpsuit.
