Nah, I'm a member. They are legit.

I'm a member, too.  They're a fine agency with a great interactive website, which they maintain themselves.

Whatever happened to Joe and the other owners that got swept up in that?

That related to agencies that set up shop in very "high class" areas of town that put forth warnings years before that they did not want those activities going on in their area. We always knew better so no issues

I think their problems started when they got too cocky, became too visible, and neighbors became suspicious and complained to the authorities. I recall a case maybe ten years ago where a couple of ladies owned a house in a pricey neighborhood , which seemed to have a lot of cars parked at all hours around it.  The neighbors thought it was suspicious, reported it, and the two ladies ended up getting busted, one of whom was well known in Atlanta circles.  A similar situation occurred at a house in a working class neighborhood.  Neighbors thought it might have been a drug house, but when LE raided it, it turned out to be an illegal strip club selling alcohol without a license.  

This is a nationwide traveling agency. A lady is only in town 2-3 days tops. It doesn't have the same pit falls/risk as locally based stagnant agencies.
