Tuesday there were a lot of news articles about Sunday's arrest of someone who owned and operated a website located in the SW region of the country. The compromised local members-only website apparently required verification from existing members in order to join. It apparently featured ads and reviews, and also served as a verification service.

It is very reminiscent of the MN Nice Guys and MFP (My Fast Pass) situations that occurred here two years ago. The articles indicate that one or more providers as well as one or more clients were working with LE over about the last 6 months .

This directly affects about 200 providers and about 1,400 clients who are members of that website. Authorities are of course suggesting that clients come forward, in order to make their job easier.

Please do not link to any of the related articles that contain name of the accused.

I hope that I have conveyed this information in a manner that does not breach the rules here.
