People are focusing on the wrong thing.  Your name and photo in some booker's database won't be the issue.  It'll be getting pulled to the side after they observe you coming in and leaving the building.  They can also set up their own surveillance inside.

 
I see guys when I go to an appointment and they look awkward, they're pacing in front of the building with their phone out, they're looking left, right, left, right, like they're nervous.  They just look off.  It really sticks out like a sore thumb to me and it's obvious at apartment buildings, single family homes where something is set up, or parking lots where a business is.  I used to go to a place off of La Cienega and it shared a parking lot with another place.  I know instantly who is visiting where by how they're dressed, how they walk, and what they're doing.  If it's 8pm and you're wearing khaki shorts with a tommy bahama shirt and sandals and have your phone out, it's obvious to everyone what you're doing.

 
I don't see why it's so hard to just act like you're supposed to be there.  Stop pacing, stop looking everywhere, stop looking silly.  Go in like you've been there 100 times.  If someone else comes into the elevator, ask them what floor and hit the button like you do at home.  Blend in, for christ's sake.

 
If your appointment is at 2pm stop heading straight to the door at 2pm like a cruise missile.  Walk normally.  When I see idiots crowding the front door of a place I'll text the booker to give it 3 minutes because a bunch of idiots are crowding the door.  You guys just all line up with your phones out and you look ridiculous.  Like you're absolutely dying to get inside because you left the oven on and just remembered.  Just basic stuff that should be common sense.  There's always a risk here and nothing is 100%, but I swear it looks like amateur night out there most times I go anywhere and people wonder "How would they know where I went?"  Dude, you're practically wearing a sign around your neck.

 
CDL, you already know all of the above, I'm writing for the other 5,000 people who still haven't figured this out.

 
Oh yeah, NEVER accept the water or candy or anything from an appointment.  You walk out of there with the tiny water bottle you might as well put it in neon where you just went.  Nobody leaves a residence with a teeny tiny water bottle and a fun-size candy bar.

The fact that they reached as far as Cali was interesting. Followimg the money I guess.

I'll start off by saying that I rarely monger outside California and have never done so in the East Coast.  As such, I'm not privy to or familiar with how they operate.  Or, rather, not as confidently familiar in granularity as I am with agencies here in the West Coast.

Regardless, what caught my eye was the mention of monthly fees.  Are there truly monthly fees associated with East Coast agencies (e.g. maintain access to the girls, grants "VIP" status, or whatever the intended service is meant to be, etc.)?  I hope someone who is prolific in the East Coast can comment on this.  Because I could not find anything else other than the posted quote that specifically ties a monthly fee to an agency.  Albeit, I did not put too much effort into parsing the articles available.  Hence, why I solicit someone who is more familiar with the scene there.

My take on the quote is that the acting US Attorney for Massachusetts is listing and conflating a lot of screening practices used by the agency to vet a potential client.  And, IMO, I think they wanted to frame the statement to inflate as much as possible the 'high-end' and exclusive nature of this enterprise.  I assume, like the West Coast, only a small subset of which is listed is really needed, necessary, or required.  Therefore, the monthly fee they are referring to can either be membership to P411 or, if you don't regularly post reviews, here at TER to be a VIP member.  The affidavit itself only mentions fees connected to both of these sites.

As someone who has used the referenced virginia agency many times. I have never been asked to pay a monthly fee. I do find it somewhat ironic that one of the Virginia buildings had police cars parked outside the entrance for probably well over a month during the summer to include unmarked cars. The agencies knew and were warned and the building even shut off the call box at one point. But only a different agency was spooked enough to change locations.

the charging agency for the Boston bust.  Within the first five pages, they identify the individuals and their home addresses that are being charged (which addresses have been redacted) and the LOCATIONS OF THE INCALLS, which are not redacted.  They are all in Massachusetts and Virgina.  There are none in California, even though one of the defendants resides in Torrance.  SoCal mongers can breathe a sigh of relief on this one.

There's so much misinformation regarding the whole thing

I've read almost every article that came out on the subject, and some are so bad... like all they had to do is re-post shit yet they still got stuff wrong, not sure on purpose or not.

 
I've read at least two articles in which it was claimed three men were arrested. It's like they completely didn't read the info where it said multiple times that it was two men and a woman. I don't get how someone with a brain could read the original press release and/or affidavit and come to this conclusion.  

Some comments from people on these articles - seems they didn't understand the hierarchy of the org. Han and the younger dude were the POs and also defacto owners. Considering Han came to the US at the age of 32 and married a dude for green card, there is a good chance she's a former kgirl herself.  

 
(with that said, the young dude was a "student" and driving Maseratis. Sounds like he never had a legit job in his life. These are the type of POs who may think they're hot shit and mongers are trash)

The TSA guy pulled a face when he ran my GE card.  Not sure what to read into this, but you never know.
