It's ironic that, in spite of their requests for intrusive levels of PII from us clients, they still got busted. I don't think it was us they needed to worry about.

Hard to believe that no one who posts on these boards (or other review sites) wasn't picked up. Unless we're just the 1% of the 1% who like to chat about it. When I was in a MP in MoCo that got busted while I was there you're damn right I was posting about it when I got home.

Something like 20 johns squealed out of the thousands of visits that have taken place over 3 years. It's statistically possible, but then there's also more than just this board after all.

Any info on Berry? There is some info from a TER review a few months ago. Same girl?

**TheeBoyFellow** · 11-10-23 15:53

Looking for some recs. Any girl with some energy and decent looks. Has anyone seen any girls from BO or APC that hit the spot? There are no reviews for Ami or Sakura on here yet.

If you don't have a security clearance, then I wouldn't lose any sleep about it. IMO, it's unlikely that any individual client will get dragged into the criminal case. And, even if you do have a clearance, it's likely that your info is at the bottom of a list of hundreds (thousands?) of other clients. Also, considering how long the affidavit is (60 pages!) it must have taken weeks to draft / finalize / approve, which means the evidence that was gathered to support it would come from an even earlier time. The feds might have continued gathering info, but at some point they run into diminishing returns. No guarantees, of course, but being at the bottom of the list, if you're even on it at all, is better than other scenarios. Of course, if you were a regular, with lots of visits and Zelle transactions, your exposure (no pun intended) will be higher.

FWIW, most mongers have screwed up at some point. Hopefully it's not too serious and can serve as a learning experience. Trading PII for access to pussy is a risky proposition. Too risky for me, others can decide for themselves.

There's no reason for federal agencies, like the DOJ and DHS, to get involved with suspected prostitution, as that's relegated to the state level. So now all they've got is human trafficking. But good luck getting those Korean women to testify. It should be noted that not a single news article mentioned that the authorities took these Asian women in for questioning. When you don't even have your main source of evidence in human trafficking cases (in this case, the women), what else have you got? Not much, so the cases will likely be tossed.

At best, they can probably hit the owners with money laundering or racketeering. So, some jail time is possible. But not much.

New agencies will pop up using different names. Probably run by the same people.

People on the so-called client list are safe. Having your name on a list is not evidence of a crime committed. Even sending text messages discussing payment for sex is not sufficient. They would need to catch you in the act to prove you engaged in prostitution. The agencies are not sting operations. There are no cameras set up inside the apartments.

Rebrands, new crews, websites and locations should do the trick. No way human trafficking sticks. All the girls I have seen took this as a job like any other, but this one pays a lot more. Thinking this has to do with Politics and elections right now. By next year it's going to be all about Fentanyl crisis.

As I posted earlier, while it's unlikely that clients will get caught up in the criminal case, anyone who has a security clearance may still have cause for concern. That means govt employees and contractors, of which I'm sure some are on the client list, are potentially at risk.

Two things could happen: A willful or "accidental" release of client info, or a behind the scenes sharing of info with security clearance adjudication agencies. At this point there's no way to know if either of those would happen, but any client who tried to dispute or challenge might have to go public to do so, which carries its own set of problems. This is likely more of a concern in the VA and DC area than it is in MA, but still too early to sound the "all clear" signal.

About the defendants, I've only skimmed the publicly released info, but I've seen charges related to trafficking, money laundering, and identity theft. Activity that might ordinarily fall under state laws gets bumped up to the federal level once it crosses state / intl borders, or otherwise involves interstate commerce (which includes a wide range of things). Hard to say what kind of sentences they're facing as a lot will depend on how much money they're alleged to have laundered. And, while I haven't seen specifics, I wouldn't be surprised to see a denial of bail, or a really high bail amount, based on the possibility of flight risk.

About the alleged "trafficking" victims, the feds will likely roll out a whole host of carrot-and-stick incentives. For example, if any of the women acted as on-site mamasans (holding $, or any kind of management activity), they could be charged as a co-conspirator. Someone like that would be a good target to flip in exchange for a plea deal. For other women, allowing them to remain in the US (carrot) vs deportation (stick) is a likely tactic. Hard to say what any individual woman will do, but it only takes one or two for the "trafficking" charges to stick. And it's also normal practice to not put all of your evidence into a publicly available affidavit. I'm guessing that interviews of clients and providers have already taken place, but that info is not required to be disclosed unless the case goes to trial AND a specific individual is on the witness list.

Lots of stuff yet to unfold. Stay tuned!

P.S. Will new agencies pop up? Absolutely! The world's oldest profession is resilient in the extreme. Run by the same people? Highly risky for them unless they run things from outside the US, in a country where extradition is unlikely. Repeat offenders in the federal system tend to get slammed pretty hard.

Don't worry about it; unless you are a high-profile individual (security clearance, politician, ect), or known bad actors participating in trafficking as suggested in the affidavit the Feds are not going to bother chasing down a Class 1 Misdemeanor (Va state law) for Solicitation or Frequent a Bawdy Place. That maybe passed down to the state level investigators. IMO I doubt very seriously at the state level there are enough resources to investigate and then chase down each regular Joe Shmoe to eventually tie up the court system for a bunch of Class 1 Misdemeanors which is equivalent to a DUI / DWI, as I said that's just my opinion.

As for a peer to peer payment there is no burden of proof unless they have no evidence for something you may have purchased or more so that you actually showed up at a specific location tying your payment to a time and date.

All that being said just caulk it up to lesson learned, no PII and its cash only.

Yeah she confirmed BEG / BTT later, she thinks the other sites are just laying low for now. Lots of places are just pulling out and laying low until they see what happens. Sucks for guys that can't get to LV or LA, but going to be slim pickings.

Last time I talked to her before this was August and she was supposed to start transitioning to helping them with apartments / hotel bookings and interviewing new girls, but I guess that's on hold for now.

"But who those sex buyers were remained a mystery on Thursday. Federal authorities were mum on the subject at the news conference, saying that any arrests for the purchase of sex would happen at the state level. ".

That may be a dash of morning comfort for many of you. Steve Descano is the total opposite of a tough on crime "community morals" crusader. Hell, he may congratulate some of you for being charitable to the ladies. I jest, but you get my point.

P.S.-if you really think the agencies "erased" your PII after the verification. Hahahahaha sure they did.

I recently tied to screen with DS and they asked me for numerous pieces of PII and I declined. The only reason I can think why they ask for so much personal info is that it gives them a level of power over you because you cannot tell how a guy is going to behave when he's alone with a girl based on his DL, his job, etc. The best way to screen to see if he's well behaved is via other ladies he's seen. Co-sign on the comment that if we collectively refuse to give up PII they'll be forced to stop asking for it or they'll go out of business; but unfortunately there will also be a few weak links in the hobby chain that will cave and send it thus ruining it for everyone.

**AznAficianado** · 11-10-23 03:18

One good thing that might come out of this is that we all collectively wake up and refuse to comply with these unreasonable screening requirements. If we refuse to hand over our PII to these agencies, they will stop requiring it. They have no legitimate need for our PII. But yet they do need our business, and will adapt to more reasonable screening like in years past.

Another observation. The affidavit says that surveillance has gone on for months and that they've interviewed 20 mongers. But yet no intel on this was reported. Makes me wonder how many investigations are currently going on against agencies, and how many guys are being flipped by the feds right now on agencies that are still operating. If you see something, say something!

Also, have you noticed that sometimes these agencies bring it on themselves. One agency has papasan in the hallway directing mongers. As I just said, the residents of that building might see something and also say something.
