These are all good points
OK. First disclaimer, it has probably been a year-and-a-half since I cruised BP looking for pussy, and that was in Boston not in O-town because BP just doesn't work the same everywhere.
Now, a reminder that CL used to be a great place to find pussy. Guess what? It still is in a few cities, Las Vegas is my favorite place to cruise CL. Also Phoenix and Denver, but just about nowhere else.
History lesson, there are other sites hookers, pimps and scammers advertise on. The laws of the free market dictate someone will fill the void that will probably be left by this setback. Yes, that site will be attacked, too, probably with the new tactic of hitting it below the economic belt because that seems to work.
More history, several prosecutors and even the Congress have tried to hold BP responsible for the misdeeds of their advertisers. None have prevailed because of free speech issues. Long live the Bill of Rights! But it doesn't matter where on earth a Web site lives, if the credit card companies won't let hookers pay for ads using their services the owners of the site are seriously fucked. And for the banks that own the credit cards, it is about perception. What banking entity wants to be associated with human trafficing?
Personally, I am popping some pop corn to see just how this plays out. It appears Grady has a serious competitor in the Sheriff of Cook County, Illinois who has now had the spotlight shined on him in every newspaper in the US of A. Someone will give him a medal. And the hookers, pimps and scammers will just go somewhere else.
I hope Jax, Sonny and the Russians make a shit load of money before someone notices they exist and asks American Express, Visa and MasterCard to cut them off, too. If I could buy stock in the company I would because it is going to make a lot of money in a hurry.
Either that or we all have to learn what the fuck a BitCoin is, anyway.
C3.
[QUOTE=FLAdventurer;2530223]This is not a US based website and there is no way that the US is going to get a foreign country to allow it to interfere with a website based in their country.
I think the only think the US could do is block it, but that is not going to happen.
