Funny how it's a foreigner place got arrested but the many other spas or soaplands, untouchable. Quite interesting. Hono1.

Heard that in Japan, everything is on the table (BBBJ, HJ, DATY, etc), however, if you engage in sexual intercourse, then that is illegal and you can get busted. Saw this in one of the You Tube videos involving female and male prostitutes in Japan.

How many girls will come back?

Girls in california, east coast say they had better be there cause covid is not something to them.

Healthy, younger girls are not that afraid of virus. They know the worst will be a dew days terrible cold to them.

But money is issue.

Hawaii is too dependent on tourism and now many asians will not come to USA. Hawaii is safer than japan but to them hawaii is only a part of very risky america. And too strict quarantine rule is pushing mainlanders away. Does this state survive with manufacturing or farming? No money no honey.

A few oldie with pension and real estate income can not support all girls. And some richer older guys just chose paying more to a few reliable low key girls rather than cruising cause they don't want take risk. Or they may just quit hobbying for a while. Smart men know girls who give no mask service will do same thing with others too. And remember many young guys (who don't frequent AMP) walk ins are critical to business and they will suffer more.

When law is soft, money will be issue.

I wonder what will happen to ones currently building their cases against some AMP's. If the prosecuter ain't interested will the case just fade?

While prostitution is not legal, no commenting does not mean AMP is exempted.

And by law AMP owners and mamas (who get paid by others' prostitution) are pimp in organized crime group. And it is open fact that many case of AMP raid is financially supported by federal funds.

Nadamoto, by far, did the most damage. Both of them are done and will no longer be a part of the prosecutor's office.

A. This is the first insight as to Alm's priorities vis-a-vis massage parlors. If this is accurate, it means the heat is going to go down on AMPs.

By the way, anyone got inside info as to status of Keith Kaneshiro and the others? Is he going to jail like former Police Chief Keaoloha and his crooked wife. Seems all of the talk has died down. Not sure if the New Prosecutor Alm plans to go after these corrupt individuals.

I read the plan and watched a good portion of the press conference, especially the QA. Internally, he wants to focus on rebuilding trust after all the corruption and transparency. In terms of crime, he's focusing on pimps, child trafficking and domestic violence. Nothing about AMPs.

That does not mean AMP will be exempt. Insiders all know and no one think any politician will give free pass ticket for AMPs if any AMP can survive while high cost low return time.

And it is well known many AMP raid sometimes are operated by funds from federal government.

Last winter Sacremento girls got warning but nothing happen (as AMPs here got attention from media, tax, license, suspicious activity) then this week sacrament places are in huge attack. No one knows.

BTW is there popular busy AMPs now but very low key place that do not welcome new clients?

Only Angel and Blue star now.

Well, that's good news, now just got to destroy COVID and see where the scene goes from there.

A. This is the first insight as to Alm's priorities vis-a-vis massage parlors. If this is accurate, it means the heat is going to go down on AMPs.

B. This seems like another goose chase: just like there's no human trafficking in AMPs, I'm skeptical that there are a ton of instances where a family in HI has tons of gambling debt so pimps their daughter out. I would guess that those instances are very rare, but if he can find one or two he can put in the press, he can say "See, we care about women / human trafficking / etc!" and get that good press, just like the last guy would raid an AMP so it looked like he was doing something. Well, at least Alm's attention grab is less likely to screw with consenting adults who agree to do something together.

C. Now if we can just keep the Corona cases down so we don't go back to Tier 1.

No more Nadamoto!

Previous administrations targeted massage parlors also referred to as massage brothels.

Alm, a former judge is taking a different approach to combatting the problem.

He’s focused on looking for teenagers coerced into sex trafficking.

“I’ve heard of cases where there’s a gambling debt and the family will pay the gambling debt by giving them their daughter for the week,” said Alm.
