Inglewood Dead or just moved to NoHo?
[QUOTE=Wando21]I have read your fine board with relish in the past; being from NC I envied you guys the AMPs available to you, from San Diego to COI, the Valley, Gardena and the Inglewood. Now in the past 6 months, Ingle is toast, DC, that eastern AMP mecca in the past, is under siege. I can't think of a more agreeable group than your Korean massage workers, who are usually polite, hardworking, and at least act like they enjoy your company, which is a hell of alot more than most wives pull off. What is the point of all this LE busting? When did the last crime wave break out in an AMP? You've got 40,000 rampaging gang members in LA, for christ sake. I guess they are easy, soft targets. I started mongering at AMPs in 1975, and I mourn their passing.[/QUOTE]
I see a ton of new places have opened in NoHo. I wonder if the Korean places have moved there????
Some insight into Stinglewood
So I recently visited with one of the providers who is well known on this list, but begged me not to include her name in this post. She quit her job at the AMP right before it got closed down because of rumors that the busts were coming. She's now decided to go legit and does not want any mention of her here or anywhere so please don't ask me for her name.
That being said, this is what she told me that she believes may have caused the sudden LE interest in shutting down the AMPs in Inglewood:
There were a couple cops who had been visiting some of the AMPs in the area dressed in full uniform to take advantage of free rides that would be offered to them to keep things quiet. They had been doing this frequently, but apparently one of the guys was pretty abusive. One day he had come in to the shop and actually hit one of the providers. She decided that she didn't care about the shop or her own personal chance of being locked up, so she filed a formal report against the cop. Ever since this report was filed, LE has been systematically shutting down the AMPs.
I don't have any way of confirming or denying this story, but I figured it was worth posting. Maybe it answers some questions? Happy hunting guys.
