Here is a listing of places in Inglewood that offers massage:
Oriental Acupressure (1041 South Prairie Avenue)
La Paz Tanning Spa (327 West Manchester Boulevard)
Manchester Health Clinic (915 West Manchester)
Royal Acupressure (401 South La Brea Avenue)
Le Sun / Hand, Feet and Tanning Salon (917 South La Brea Avenue
Sue’s Acupressure (261 South La Brea Avenue)
Linda’s Perfume / Massage (4611 West Century Boulevard)
Oriental Health Therapy (901 West Olive Street)
I'd have to guess none were busted for the services that we enjoy. Just guessing, I'd say probably the therapists has no license, which is probably a good indication of what other services might be available.
Bottom line, the police know about these places. Talking about them isn't likely to encourage them to do much. They will simply go through all establishments that offer massage and do inspections.
Anyone with some law background?
Or just happens to know how to read these things:

This is the case U.S.A. V. JONG OCK MAO, et al., from what I have read and the timing, this is the person who ran LaPal or LeSun which have now been closed.
There are several dates, all seem to be related to the Speedy Trial Act
they are FATD, MCD, TMAX, TMAX - 2 Weeks.
Does anyone know what these mean?
Now for the charges. None of these look to be prostitution or related charges. Looks like the charges are all designed to seize property and cash.
18 U.S.C. § 371: Conspiracy; 18 U.S.C. § 1956(h): Money Laundering Conspiracy; 18 U.S.C. § 1952(a)(3): Interstate Travel and Use of Interstate Facilities to Promote and Carry On Unlawful Activity; 18 U.S.C. § 1957: Engaging in Monetary Transactions with Criminally Derived Property
Thats an excellent question
[QUOTE=Webcams]I was under the impression LS & LP were [b]closed ?[/b] Heard a friend of a friend mention he paid a visit to LS, thought it was odd but didn't say anything, Boys is this true has it re-opened? Is it worth the risk?[/QUOTE]
Time will tell all. Since the busts were Federal busts, I doubt the Feds would have much interest in running a sting. That doesn't count local LE. If local LE were interested in running the sting, the time to have done it was same/next day so that information regarding the busts wouldn't travel so far in the community.
I know, the media covered it probably same day, but OUR community is largely by these postings, which are sometimes delayed by the moderator, or the individual just can't post quickly, not to mention, not all of us can check in every day either. So, a next day sting would likely gather many from OUR community :(
