I would only consider if it was much cheaper and still effective against all STDS, the second part is something I don't see ever happening.

A little reminder that hobbyists don't get their lives ruined forever with their picture in the media is a myth.

Also, everyone caught seem quite local to the area of Gurnee. There has to be some info / clues / breadcrumbs they leave to let us know how to avoid the trap.

Just use common sense and you won't get burned. No need for the ad that LE used, no need for specifics, IMO. Most people who get wrapped up in stings aren't thinking.

The TOFTT people here and other outlets are doing a lot of heavy lifting for the rest of us and it can get worse than a bait and switch or a robbery.

Just curious if anyone knows about an uptick in LE going after providers especially in nw suburbs. Know of one provider who's been popped now 3 times in 2 weeks.

They will continue to post ads as normal but LE usually in an adjoining room with these types of stings. Not to mention much more dangerous for US to play.

Yea K-Orgs are expensive but much more safe from this.

Nothing on a large scale though.

Getting popped 3 times in two weeks seems impossible though. Can you PM some more info on this provider? What county was this in?

And the dumb ass media doesn't know to ask "How did this supress human trafficking? How many women were rescued from this operation that didn't involve any providers?
