If I remember correctly they had very high voice conversations at the gathering restaurant / bar and other customers were annoyed by it.

Also, I remember they had conversations where they were openly talking about helping Asian ladies crossing border from Canada in what I assume was not so legal circumstances.

They were just asking to get caught.

Oh, damn. I couldn't image a bunch of regular fellas gathering together bragging about the last hooker they fucked.

They couldn't possibly think they are some Diddy level guy who can through an orgy without worrying about LEO.

Thanks for the clarification tho.

Always think twice about what you share and with whom. Over the years I've had a few guys ask me to share my phone number & email address or ask if I want to get together for a beer to compare notes about various chicks. Hard no.

I wish we could meet up, but yeah, just too dangerous. I really would love to swap war stories, but I guess forums like this are the only option.

I've heard that as well from sources, however if I recall what really happened was that undercover vice officers from Bellevue PD were able to ingratiate themselves into a group of members who referred to themselves as The League of Distinguished Gentlemen. These guys were a mish mash of people, from dentists to a 911 operator if I recall correctly. They set-up some sort of deal with an Asian madame and were shilling good reviews for free services, also putting up cash for apartments in some cases. Apparently these guys bragged and boasted online and were really exclusive as to who they let in to their circle. They'd pissed a few people off from what I recall. BPD vice became interested and one of them created an account on TRB and charmed his way into the group. They met every week at a pub near downtown Bellevue and vice was able to get some recordings of these meetings. They were eventually all arrested at this pub and that's when it all came down. Now, I saw all of this from afar combined with hearsay, so there may be some inaccuracies in my post here, but I think the overall gist of vice infiltrating the group is correct. That's what got it all rolling. Other more known and prolific members such as Ben Franklin were fingered by vice for writing reviews (he's open about this on TNA, I've seen him post as such). He may have been followed by vice at TRB events to his car, however I also have to think that they were rather careless with their identities because guys like that consider everyone in the scene to be their friends, especially providers. That was my impression of a lot of prolific posters on TRB, they all just wanted to be friends and hang-out. Too much trust is what gets you in hot water when you're messing with things which are illegal. A lot of that shit came over to TNA after TRB went down and infused the board with romantic flowery bullshit and providers-can-do-no-wrong BS. Ruined it all, honestly.

TRB, in the back recesses of my mind, I remember the story like this (please correct me, I wasn't ever on the board):

The Review Board (TRB) was a web site with provider reviews similar to this site and TnA, etc. However, I guess members were much more social on that site and they used to have TRB member get togethers. Somehow, the cops were able to join this public web site and "infiltrate" one of the events, I. E. They showed up at the bar / restaurant that the event was being held. I don't think it was anything seedy, being a public place, but the fact that it was the anonymous users of the site, made them a whole lot easier to I'd when they cops could hassle them. There were some arrests I think, top members of the board. Whole thing was shut down. I remember there being a bunch of soap opera like drama before and during the trial but nothing specific.

Please please please anyone that remembers, correct or flesh out my story!

Thanks!

It was my understanding that the way they tracked down the guys was by following them to their cars and getting their license plate numbers. But that's just what I read on the boards. Or maybe that Reason article. Not sure. What I do know is that I stopped going to the public events in Portland after that.

The TNA bitches that don't like honest reviews always bring up the TRB bust as evidence of why people shouldn't post detailed reviews, which is completely missing the charges that were used to go after the TRB guys. They were charged with pandering, in the legal theory that posting a review was pandering in promoting prostitution. As far as I understand, that never stuck, and the guys were never really tried for that. But they were all ruined anyway, because the moral crusaders are fuciung horrible evil people that can't handle the fact that grown adults should be able to pay for sex. Some of those guys were probably flying a little too close to the sun in facilitating apartments and such, but that's a separate issue from the review stuff.

Anyway, it was never a good excuse for not posting details in reviews, but the pussy cartel on TNA has used it to reduce details in reviews so that they can rip off customers, and the dumbass white Knights support their hustle.

Found the case. https://scholar.google.com/scholar_c...271246&q=state+of+washington+v+peters&hl=en&scisbd=2&as_sdt=4,48.

TLDR: "Peters next contends that his prosecution violated the First Amendment by punishing him for protected speech. He is wrong.

The First Amendment prevents the government from restricting speech based on its content. However, this limitation is not absolute. Speech that is intended to "incite or produce imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action" is not protected by the First Amendment. Our Supreme Court has determined that "the only kind of speech punished" by the prohibition of advancing prostitution, as defined by RCW 9 A. 88.060, is "speech directed toward the persuasion of another to enter into an illegal arrangement. " Because such speech is intended to incite imminent lawless action (I. E. , engaging in prostitution) and is likely to do so, it is not protected by the First Amendment.

Peters asserts that his case is factually distinguishable from Cann because the speech for which he was prosecuted was not an offer to enter into an illegal arrangement but, rather, "the fact that he wrote detailed positive reviews describing his experiences with prostitutes, and referred others to sex workers upon his recommendation. " In support, Peters cites to Hess v. Indiana. In Hess, the Supreme Court determined that a remark by an anti-war protestor could not be punished as disorderly conduct because, as the protestor's words were not directed to anyone in particular, there was no evidence that the protestor's words were intended and likely to produce "imminent disorder. " That holding does not aid Peters. Here, by contrast to Hess, Peters' speech— detailed reviews meant to serve as advertisements and referrals to specific sex workers— was intended to and was likely to produce imminent violation of prostitution laws.

Because Peters' speech was both intended to produce and likely to produce unlawful activity, prosecution based on this speech does not violate the First Amendment.

Yup! That's how I remember it. Pretty much the gradual build up of what came out of the Garden of Eden and Sacred Temple drama in 2003 and 2009. Renting out the hotel meeting space for a get together was an absolutely insane idea, but they were already drinking their own Kool-Aid.

I'll give my thoughts on TRB because why not. I was never really a member of that board, I didn't like the forum software nor most of the members. There was for a long time quite a rift between those who posted on TNA and those who posted on TRB. Some women ONLY posted on TRB as they thought the clientele and money were better there. Both the women and the men on TRB were regarded as "higher-class" from what I recall. After TRB folded, a lot of it's members moved to TNA and this is where I believe some of the snootiness came into the board. TRB was owned and operated by an older man going as Tahoe Ted. My understanding is that he had a big ego and was a central figure of royalty at the regular TRB gatherings. If you were invited to his table, it was apparently regarded as a big deal. This is all hearsay, of course, but I've heard this from multiple sources over the years. After the so-called League of Distinguished Gentlemen were all busted at a pub in Bellevue, Tahoe Ted committed suicide (by hanging if I'm not mistaken). It was a wild ride to watch.

To the best of my knowledge, and I've only been in the activity about the last 10 years, it's "the review board dot net" and it is defunct. I don't know all the story or history behind it. One these old school salt dogs could probably give a better history.

She has been BBFS, bb Greek, rimming, do all and cum bucket since she appeared in trb years ago.

Don't know why guys said it was a secret she did all and do all bare with always filling all her places. As recent review states, she even licks and swallow when cum falls off on her play partner. I remember the times she has watched the cum out of her pussy or ass and put it in her mouth to swallow.

What's trb?
