Awwww, say it isn't so!? The five-O has invaded the sleepy town of Gardena, eh? I personally cannot confirm this as I haven't seen any patty wagons parked outside some of these establishments, but it's truly a crying shame. Not to mention the non-activity on this board lately.

Who started this rumor? can you confirm this? I called a***e yesterday and the same mama I always speak to picked up the phone and she even stated the names of the same two girls that are working on Sundays? I have never experienced LE busts at an MP, could there still be a possibility? As for the other MPs I never go to them anyways, so I wouldn't know. But I am hesitant to try my regular, until I know the coast is clear!
Has anyone heard of m**age on crenshaw wouth of the 105FWY?

Friday was a bad day... I visited both places in Gardena and they were closed with their open signs off... Probably just temporary hopefully.

I call and double confirm that one the first one with phone no. 515 is open and the 323 is closed no one pick up the phone yesterday. Also, remembered that they have limited girl now a day and if they both sick or decide not to show up at work, they have to be closed.

I live very close to both places and it just seemed odd that both in such close proximity would be closed. I'll do a drive by tomorrow and update status.

Gardena is doing a crack down on mps.
I know the owner of 515 is doing some "major" improvements/remodeling of the place so they were closed for the majority of the week a while back. Their phone lines were jacked up and most of the rooms/hallway were torn up when I cruised by. Just my two cents, so lets hope LE didn't shake 'em up.

What are you basing your intel on?
I'll hafta agree with Sboard on this one...What evidence is out there (beside the obvious of a few mps being closed for a few days) that proves LE is cracking down on these places? Haven't read a word in the local paper or seen anything on tv that leads me to believe that Gardena mps are being hit.
[QUOTE=Sboard]What are you basing your intel on?[/QUOTE]Direct words from a Gardena cop.
The "bank" jackshack is still open in Gardena. Just bring some siao pao or little snacks and carry on with the mamasan. I know, I know... the women are older and FS doesn't seem to be in the menu but, WTF, the massage is pretty good and CBJ or handshake is better than nothing. I do miss the old Spa La Paz days though. Dayum.
Peace
[QUOTE=Thomas Sas]Direct words from a Gardena cop.[/QUOTE]
Normally, cop does not tell people where they are going to hit unless you work in a police department and they do not know you are mongering. Anyway thanks for the head up if it is true.

I had a similar question, was it a fellow gardena cop?
Yeah, I think the Gardena PD/ LA Sheriffs are getting bored since they've flushed out the mp business in the 'hood' so they're moving inland. Does anyone have any credible sources? Be careful out there, dudes!!!

[QUOTE=Sboard]I had a similar question, was it a fellow gardena cop?[/QUOTE]Lol. I have a job where I run into a lot of law enforcement from time to time. BTW if I was a cop why would I warn anyone.

Why not... wouldn't you let your fellow mongers know that time to drive to TJ... :(
Maybe we can move the korean girls to catalina island and open up an AMP there... away from the PD... or have a floating AMP just outside of international waters. hahaha
TJ is so far to go... convenience...

Both still appear to be closed, no lights on. Drive by intel.

You need to flag your ship to a country where prostitution is legal (Canada, England, France, Wales, Denmark, Mexico, Israel, Australia, etc) It is a matter of finding most favorable tax treatment.
Most mongers don't like seeing other mongers or be seen. So ferrying customers out to the ship is problematic because of privacy issues.
A 40 nautical miles trip out to Avalon from Marina del Rey takes 90 minutes on the ferry.
Limits of federal enforcement is 12 miles. So about 30 minutes each way on top of the time to MDR. The trip to TJ is starting to look ok.

On August 21, 2006, in Los Angeles, CA, Sun Hi Lee and Wilford Johnson were sentenced to 18 months in prison and agreed to forfeit $2,434,000 in cash and $355,862 in bank account funds seized during the federal investigation. On April 26, 2006, the Johnsons each pleaded guilty to one count of federal tax evasion. According to publicly-filed documents, the Johnsons owned and operated a business known as Oriental Acupressure, in Inglewood, CA. Oriental Acupressure was a mostly cash business and had approximately 100-150 customers per day. The customers paid "house fees" ranging from $50-$90, to buy time with a prostitute working under the guise of a licensed massage or acupressure technician. The customers would then pay an additional fee directly to the prostitute depending on the agreed upon sex act. On their 2001 tax return, the Johnsons willfully and intentionally omitted income in the amount of $255,306 and failed to pay to the Government $81,848 in income taxes.

I would like to know more about the cases and where do you go to find the public records if you do mind sharing your intelligent.

In Orange County, one can look up all kinds of good stuff at

If the case is a federal case, then :

You have to pay for pacer, can be a bit expensive if you want info, but you can see some of the actual court documents online.
Does anyone know where Yumi is?
I know just an idea... but it's true I don't like to see other mongers... I think the funniest was in Gardena... I saw a dude with a wig, fake mustache, and dark glasses. He got rejected at both places... I wonder why...
Ah that reminds me of the days in SF at Lee's and Golden flower. The mongers would joke about who were better. And then OA and LeSun and LaPaz.. I met some funny mongers there... talking about how asia was better.. oh well...
Hopefully the ones in SGV are still open.

It is speculated that she got busted when Royal was raided & shut down a few months ago.
King Harbor Massage in king harbor plaza on PCH just got raided about 20 mins ago-- I saw the whole thing go down. It scared the sh*t out of me. They questioned one customer-- One lady got handcuffed and taken away.
I think it was a sting op-- as i saw one "customer" walkaway w/o question.
be careful

wow I thought that place was legit so I never went in...
[QUOTE=buddhahead]It is speculated that she got busted when Royal was raided & shut down a few months ago.[/QUOTE]
I also believe that was the case. Almost the end of Royal, yumi told me "I have a new girl tomorrow and come see her". This sound to me like she is acting like a mamasan and a worker at the same time.
Wow. I've been there many times, reviewed it last year. They just changed ownership, and I only went there for the previous owner, Lilly (formerly of Bay Spa).

U know AG$PE was sooner or later will be closed down. I think they out last their time with all the post at MPrEV??w, spelling out that old man sitting in the front desk is a weirdo. It is so obvious that one you pas the old man, all is clear and some of the chick did not even attemp to do any massage but ask how much are you going to spend on them. I alway told them that you are luck because I am not a copy otherwise, you are busted so becareful next time. I guess these ***** did not learn the lessen and the place is down for good. Maybe another is will sprint it out from there again just like last time. This place and next door are refugee from the woods so if you are looking for your Latin lady you must go to Fontana or around highland to find your burrita. This is for entertainment reading only and practice my writting skill.
From today's Daily Breeze:
Three women were arrested Thursday on suspicion of soliciting prostitution at a massage parlor in Inglewood, police said.
Song Cha Kim, 59, of Glendale; Young Takemori, 47, of Los Angeles; and Miae Kim, 34, of Los Angeles, were arrested after undercover officers posed as massage customers at Tokyo Acupressure, 1019 W. Manchester Blvd., said Sgt. Robert Pessis of the Inglewood Police Department.
DID ANYONE KNOW THAT TOKYO HAD REOPENDED???
Wow. That was a quick bust. They opened last week. I got a call from the Mama-san and went in on last Thursday and saw Coco. They only had 2 girls working.

Let's face reality. There will be no AMPs in The Wood in the forseeable future. What were the owners at Tokyo thinking? It's all over in The Wood.

That is what easy money will do to you. Some of these people think they can buy their way out because some they know or on their payroll will informed them. I guess one less place for us mongers to the job done.

Toftt. Stay away from shi-shi, at Hawthorne health center, in hawthorne. Place is a dump, she is nasty looking, got shorted 15 min. , no shower available there, and she breathes heavy while giving the massage, what a turn off!
