Curious if anyone has had any luck contacting them in the past week.
Website hasn't been updated for June, and booker hasn't responded to my text, both of which are very unusual for them. Great agency, would be a shame if they weren't around anymore.
Was hoping to see one of them next week.
I'm surprised this didn't come up earlier, but yes, 4 Thai houses in OC were busted as part of a trafficking related sting. Thai Angels ran two apartments and Asian Food Network ran two apartments in OC and one in San Diego. It is my understanding that no girls were arrested; just the house bosses.
While I am under the belief that in recent times these establishments booked mostly (if not solely) independents, I am also under the belief that they at one time indeed booked "trafficked" girls, for which were the primary charges.
The bust went down in many cities across the U.S. on the morning of May 24, 2016. This is a continuation of Federal case that's been developing since last year, which initially included numerous arrests made in other cities.
Google: thai sex trafficking
and read the many stories posted the last week of May.
Any ads for these establishments that are new are certainly on "auto renew" so do not contact them, as you may be texting a Federal agent... and if the numbers used by these house bosses contact you, be assured likewise, however I my belief is they are not after patrons, just the organizers and participants in the network.
Another site I frequent deleted the profiles of those houses, and thus the ads, though it was after much discussion and it was obvious that the ads on that site, which were generally updated multiple times a day, all of a sudden ceased to be updated.
While there were many lovely, good spirited girls at these places trying to earn a living for a better life for themselves and often those in their home country, some were not necessarily working under ideal conditions and got more than they bargained for when they came to this country. It is unfortunate that there are some true victims as a result.
Having had the privilege to have been rather well acquainted with a few of these amazing girls, I have reliable information about what I speak.
Be safe.
I'll add that in general my observation in recent times about these OC house bosses discussed here was that they treated the girls rather well, often allowing them time off for errands or social activities -- of course, this was especially the case with the independent girls in recent years.
I do know that not all establishments were so considerate, and the girls were often times "encouraged" to work quite hard and they were restricted on their freedoms. I believe that was mostly a symptom of the "trafficked" girls and the agencies to which they were obligated.
Soapbox off.
Anything new on this? Looks like all of these agencies are still shut down ...
I have reliable information that the house bosses of the aforementioned establishments are among the 21 who were arrested and that they are still in jail. This is a serious Federal case also involving the Thai government's cooperation.
IF they can even get out on bail, I certainly would not expect those houses to re-open.
Time to take up knitting as a hobby.
What are the chance that FEDS have email address and phone numbers of hobbyist and what can they do those good people?
If you look at the stories, this Federal case is primarily about the victim girls, the organization and the money. In that quest, yes, you can be sure they found emails and phone numbers, as all electronics found under the search warrants would have been seized.
One might hope that the investigation's focus continues to be on areas other than the clients, but it could be considered a wake-up call to ensure you only spend time with legitimate ladies, and also take appropriate precautions to always protect your privacy.
