Since this is a site that's supposed to help one another out.
[QUOTE=MedellinMike;4898129]I also got a letter on Friday, just said states Attorneys office with a name and contact phone number. Its a legit number and legit person. My letter did not mention sending more information but did ask for cooperation in an ongoing investigation. I also had a miss call from Orlando PD and when I called it back it was a detective with vice and trafficking. Here is tge odd part, they called my cell, I never gove my cell number out to anyone. How is it possible for anyone to get a cell number or am I just being naive.[/QUOTE]How about posting a pic of your letter and redact all of your personal info, nobody wants to get caught up in any BS, so how about posting that pic so we can see the validity of these letters. I don't think that's too much to ask considering how much we all have at stake. This site should be used for all of us to work together and the best way to earn everyone is to show the letter, if for some reason you don't want to post it how about sending it in a PM?
Upload a pic of the letter

Letter seem to be BS IMHO
Yup. Exactly. If these letters were real then I would have one in my mailbox for as many times as I have been to KMS in the last 6 months. Osceola's finest would have seen me multiple times and I would have told them the same thing I always tell any popo "Are you charging me? No then have a nice day" and then keep my mouth shout. It usually pisses them off something fierce but it is your right. My traffic lawyer does the rest.

Getting defensive and hostile huh
[QUOTE=MedellinMike;4898353]Here is the deal brother. No one asked you to believe, don't believe I don't care one way or the other. Go to the spa, don't go again I don't care. Why don't you go ask any of the spas how many times the police have visited in the last month. Why don't you check out their sister spa in south Fl and ask why the police came in force, look at the Lauderdale site. Why did they close? Again my friend, you do you, go don't go, I could care less, effects me zero![/QUOTE]So that's how you respond? I didn't say anything out of the way to you, I didn't disrespect you, I just asked that you show the letter do we can all see it, so we can all know what to expect. No need for you to act that way.
Getting defensive and hostile huh
Cherry Blossom bust related to current activity?
[QUOTE=MedellinMike;4895605][QUOTE=Barolo;4895561]The is no secret about what happened to Cherry Blossom. Go look at articles in the paper. Kim, her sister, her husband and another man, all arrested under RICO. Over $300k from bank accts, 40k in cash hidden in a car and gold bars confiscated.[/QUOTE]That was big news, no mystery at all. She is a little Vietnamese viper. Has not gone to trial yet, won't be surprised to see her drag down as many girls as she can with her or try to bargain her way out by throwing someone under the bus. Never liked her. Think she is a snake.[/QUOTE]This got me thinking. Dangerous, I know, since I'm apparently prone to wild conspiracy theories and churning up "drama" like this. Regardless, I'll offer yet another wild thought.
While I don't know the targets/owners in the Cherry Blossom case, nor do I have any insight on the details of the case or status of the defendants, the statements offered by others, as shown above, led me to conjur up the theory that, just **maybe** the defendents possibly ARE negotiating some sort of plea for leniency by (possibly/probably falsely) identifying some of their past employees as the ACTUAL valuable targets for future/related investigations. Just the fact that the businesses identified in this thead are commercially related and number at least THREE locations in the immediate area, with additional locations reportedly in south Florida, could protray the "size of operation" that LE deems to meet some hurdle or criteria for classifying as 'racketeering' or 'organized criminal activity'. I have no idea if there is some measuable level to warrant interest, but with a multiple number of locations, I would chance a guess that LE could make some correlation to dollar volume of revenue they're seeking to wrap up into a larger, more substantial, criminal charge. In other words, single shop businesses, like most other AMPs in the area, don't rise to the level of "organization" that LE could pin anything substantial on them, so they're not the first AMPs targeted.
Doubling up on responses, I'll include this here as well:
[QUOTE=MedellinMike;4900015]I appreciate your information. I also got a call on my cell but it was from a detective at Orlando PD vice. I never talked to anyone, it was answered by a voice recording (answering machine) I never gave my cell out to anyone. They have not tried calling me back yet. Not familiar with MBI are they outside the PD or part of it?[/QUOTE]Google "Metrpolitan Bureau of Investigation - Orlando, FL", or you could visit their website (here: [url]http://mbi-police.net/[/url]and check out the ABOUT pages.
Hey, what about those Sherrif Elections, eh?!
