[QUOTE=WildCard;4387189]Do recent visitors typically have anything to worry about after something like this? Asking for a friend.[/QUOTE]Only if you own a sports team. Ordinarily your biggest worry is the threat by the police to tell your wife or S / O that they found you there if you don't talk. If they have her phone number the risk is high. Other than that you need not worry much.

Makes sense why secret service was involved. Probably started as a tax / money thing.
Lucy's in Parma Hts not on the list and closed suddenly about 2 months ago did they know something that nobody else did?

[QUOTE=Rafter17;4389455]There wouldn't be anything to raid if they closed months ago.[/QUOTE]So I've been away from C town this week. Sounds like they hit a string that were all owned by one person?
Anyone know what's still open? They closed up the ones I usually go to, unfortunately, but we've been through this before, and it seems they always come back around, same thing happens in Columbus.
BAX.
Wondering how the places in Warren were over looked. Maybe they are next or maybe they paid their secret fees' to stay open?

Four days ago in July 30th 2019 it came out in the front page of the USA TODAY Newspaper a report of a huge AMP Spas RAIDS Operation that took place in other places in other states. This came out right before the Ohlo spas got raided as well a couple of days ago. So this was a huge organized operation nationwide it seems. Here is the link to the USA Today report.

In the report it says that some of the spas they hit were from reviews left on yelp and on rubmaps. I guess all people should be very careful of what they write, how and who they write about that could potentially hurt not only themselves but this good people working in those business as well. So sad that the government snubs do not respect true liberty and freedom of adult's own personal decisions and choices in their own personal lives.

I archived it. Use the below link to view my archive.
I tried original link above and it worked this time. The Archived links below work but do not save the pictures. Use the original link by Acyan until it does not work then use my link which theoretically should work for years.

Below is a program that can save web pages for you. If you have ever posted a link on this board only to have the link not work a day or two later, this might be for you. See the info below, and start archiving those "Skip the Games" pages you post so they do not get taken down after you post about them.
Archive.today is a time capsule for web pages!
It takes a 'snapshot' of a webpage that will always be online even if the original page disappears.
It saves a text and a graphical copy of the page for better accuracy
and provides a short and reliable link to an unalterable record of any web page
including those from Web 2.0 sites:
http://archive.fo/2013.05.01/http://nickqizhu.github.io/dc.js/
http://archive.fo/2014.06.26/https://www.google.com/maps/…
This can be useful if you want to take a 'snapshot' a page which could change soon: price list, job offer, real estate listing, drunk blog post, ...
Saved pages will have no active elements and no scripts, so they keep you safe as they cannot have any popups or malware!

There seems to be a threat here, but not sure how that would work unless they had surveillance inside the spa (s). Just visiting a place doesn't mean anything.
[QUOTE=WildCard;4387189]Do recent visitors typically have anything to worry about after something like this? Asking for a friend.[/QUOTE]It all depends (see Rober Kraft for instance), but generally they go more after the owners and providers, as they can hit them with charges involving financial crimes as well as something low level like soliciting. Many years ago I was at a FS AMP in NYC, and as my session was wrapping up there was a commotion in the lobby, and it ended up being NYPD raiding the place. They rounded up the girls, but after checking our IDs (I assume for warrants, etc) they let me and the other guy there walk, and I never heard from LE again about the case.

I would love to get "upgraded" services with an Asian provider individually, but there doesn't seem to be a market for much outside of AMPs.
Stay safe.
Was up that way this morning, didn't notice anything different. Only thing I can say is that whoever opened up that place should have had their fricken head examined. That definitely was not the right place to put the business.
