I doubt it
[QUOTE=Daytonfreek;3569310]Just thought everyone might be interested in knowing that the exchange of food stamps for sexual activities in the Harem has made the national news, and is currently being worked into comedy routines everywhere. Only in Dayton I tell ya, only in Dayton.[/QUOTE]I seriously wouldn't put it past other establishments in other states.
It's probably because Le, here in our conservative ass state find the time to uncover such things.

Yes, I'm sure it occurs elsewhere, but Dayton is pretty much the only city where the cops are gung ho about petty shit like this. We've got drug dealers peddling their goods in elementary school parking lots, and people dying of heroin ODs in record numbers, but our incompetent police force ignores these major problems and focuses on the things that are easy to enforce because it produces results on paper, while not doing jack shit in addressing the real problems of our city.

They did
[QUOTE=TheDaytimer;3569241]Wondering if LE had undercover DANCERS in the Harem or other clubs. They have done that before.
Anyone know anything. And if so, what the dancers names were?
As a refresher you can reference this from what they did to Total Xposure a few years ago:
[URL]http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1381191/posts[/URL][/QUOTE]I guarantee you they had undercover dancers there. That's how you gain intelligence from people in the back, while people in the front are building report with the dancers to find out if they had drug dealers etc.
I actually stopped at Diamonds last night. I was really bored there but it wasn't the dancers fault. I jut really didn't feel like being there that much and still think I'm burned out on strip clubs. But I know Daisy and Kristen are back at Diamonds from Harem now according to one of the dancers I'm close to there. Honestly after how hands on girls at Harem were, it's amazing how boring dances at other clubs are.

Good way to ruin a fun night.
Although I can usually smell bacon a mile away, it just aint worth the risk.

Stamps
[QUOTE=Daytonfreek;3569310]Just thought everyone might be interested in knowing that the exchange of food stamps for sexual activities in the Harem has made the national news, and is currently being worked into comedy routines everywhere. Only in Dayton I tell ya, only in Dayton.[/QUOTE]Are being brought in by dancers and sold to dealers at 50% of face value for drugs or just needed cash. Then they are used by dealers family or resold.

Stamps?
I didn't think their was such a thing as food stamps anymore? I thought they had some kind of a debit card assigned to them, how would that work?

[QUOTE=WTell;3569692]I didn't think their was such a thing as food stamps anymore?

Federal Government is catching on.

They sell it for drug or cash (for alcohol or cig, or whatever non food items).
I know in a ghetto area of Dayton, dudes pay his donation of this hobby by food stamp too LOL. It is a widely accepted form of payment in that community.

Card
So they get a new one every month or reload that one? I guess I thought they reloaded that card so how would they give it away and get anything next month?

[QUOTE=WTell;3569883]So they get a new one every month or reload that one? I guess I thought they reloaded that card so how would they give it away and get anything next month?[/QUOTE]Epi Card. Same one every month person spends what's on the card then gives it back to the Card Holder.

[QUOTE=WTell;3569883]So they get a new one every month or reload that one?

Before purchasing one, the buyer can check the available balance via telephone or online. After using them I don't know if it is typical to return it to the cardholder. My guess if it is not returned, the cardholder can disable the card and request a new one as they would not want to lose the next month's benefits.

The card is reissued and mailed quickly after reporting a lost card. Pretty often beneficiaries order new card every month after they sold remaining balance to the drug dealers.
I believe it once was a form of Mastercard debit card. Now it is not, an independent system.

Cheeks Beat Down
This is second hand info so take it for what is worth. Went to Cheeks Sunday night to watch girls and football. Hung out with a semi-regular dancer. She told me how some dancer got jumped in the smoking area Saturday by two people. Got punched from behind and roughed up until bouncers got there. Customers got kicked out. Dancer evidently got in trouble for making club look bad. Asked why the customers didn't get arrested for assault? Was told club doesn't want cop hassle. Asked why dancer got in trouble? Was told she heard the dancer tried to fight back protecting herself while she was on the ground in self defense and we are not supposed to fight. Asked if the dancer I was with was there or saw it? She said no. She wasn't at club Saturday just on Friday and tonight (Sunday). She heard about when she got to work Sunday. Pretty crappy of Cheeks to not protect their dancers better or support them when they get attacked.

The really sad thing is that if it was Babydoll, or one of his favored dancers who sit with him at his cool table I'm sure things would have been different.
