Massage Parlor Reports

[QUOTE=ZkWanderer;7286924]From what I've read on the Asheville boards, they got hit hard recently as well. Could be coincidence or could have been coordinated. I honestly didn't check dates of posts to see if they lined up in any way.

In either case, my friend used to frequent Knox area a lot back in the golden era, say 8-10 years or so ago. The shops there were systematically shut down over a period of about 2 years. Mostly because they had fraudulent massage certificates. Could be what's happening up in your area, popo checking papers for fraud and human trafficking. Just my best guess on it though.[/QUOTE]I believe the Asheville and Tri Cities raids were only separated by a few days.

The Ashe raids were of course part of the law that went into effect earlier this year.

In terms of the why for the Tri Cities-look at the calendar. The raids were right before race weekend. I would wager those places make a good chunk of change during that period. Instead they were shut down. Basically an economic penalty.

[QUOTE=Coolbreeze;7286805]What do you think the purpose of the raids were for? It doesn't seem like anything became of it. I see Chinese pressure is open again too.[/QUOTE]Every thing in the tri is back open except one every thing in Asheville back open except one.

Get a massage. Business is slow right now which is nice because things aren't rushed but if it continues numbers go down.

My guess is they pulled over a few guys who were leaving. Threatened them with all kinds of things if they didn't admit what happened at the business blah blah blah. Weenie dude spills the beans and walks away. Cops have what they need for a warrant.

A few days before it all went don't I entered and exited and saw the same dude in a vehicle watching. Didn't ask me nothing. I was certain it was someone watching. They had the look and no reason to have been still there literally backed in facing. Not that I care. Nothing wrong with a massage.

If he gets tough just tell him he is suspicious there watching a store front and that you're going to notify the proper authorities of a possible crime. Call him out. There's no crime in going into a health-spa. Let the tough guy know that if he's watching then he's being watched too. You have to "watch the watchers" and if they want to play that game then call them out.

I of course wasn't 100% sure that's what it was until it happened of course though.

I believe that's what she went by, saw she was hard to schedule, saw a post from her while back, she needed help, me and bro picked her up, took turns in back seat all the way to TN 'helping her' then got to hotel and we both helped again, couple days later she was gone, a friend in VA had us record, but I lost them, anyone knows how to find her?

Afew days ago I left the Home Depot and drove over to KT but it was closed. I drove by Fort Henry and it was closed too. Yesterday I saw KT was open but not one car in the parking lot and a woman standing at the window looking bored. Fort Henry was open a few weeks ago but it's still closed today. I went to MiMi's and they were open and told me they were very slow. I got a nice massage by an older woman but no extras even though it was offered. I think I'm going to start going to VA from now on.
