AMPs and "Organized Crime"
[QUOTE=A John]A lot of times their nothing more than fall guys. It's all about money.
I just find it amazing someone with his supposing intelligence would put themselves in this position. WTF was he thinking/smoking.

I think AJ is right. Perhaps the Koreans recruited the ex-mayor to be their front man, hoping that his legitimacy, past LE ties, and non-Korean nationality might "insulate" them from LE harassment.
It obviously didn't work, and one can only naturally conclude that he knew what he was getting himself into. Maybe he really was a stooge and thought he was buying into a legitimate business, but he'd really have to be an idiot if that's the case. So much for due diligence.
Remember, Black Wednesday was really all about the alleged racketeering and "human trafficking."
In PWC, you can imagine that LE must be highly irate that in their last high profile AMP raid before YST, quite a few customers got their charges tossed out by the judge and the establishment actually reopened. Still, being arrested, charged, and going to court is enough of a nightmare.
Sex and Money Kicks Moral and Ethic’s Asses!
I completely agree with A John. It’s all about the money, and it’s very common in situations like this. But that’s all I’m saying about that. If you want to know more, you can always PM me. However, before you decide to PM me, please contribute something in the open forum first.
Being that I almost fall for something similar, I understand his predicament. When your sexy mistress and her friend shows you the best time of your life, accountability and logic goes out the window. Sex and money drives the little head crazy. But boy, am I glad I used the bigger head.
Strangely enough, I recognize one of the accused. I did some work for her in the past. If she is who I think she is, then many of you might know her as well, especially in the Washington, D.C. circuit. (Don’t PM me about her. I may be a monger, but I’m an ethical monger. There’s a code of ethics in my profession. Maybe one day I will ignore it, but not today.)
However, I think her age is a misprint; I don’t remember her being either that young or that old. Unfortunately, there’s no central database for information verification on these ladies once they are in custody; only their words. Or maybe it’s a different person all together. Can anyone obtain pictures of these poor souls?
However, in cases like this, plea deals usually bring out the true culprit; unless the former Mayor is willing to accept all responsibilities. Such gestures would really change my views of Politian. If he takes it all, he’ll certainly have my vote for President.
