Someone didn't want her trading names for months or years off her sentence.

Another conspiracy therapy is born.

I just heard about this and am really very shocked. And then I also learned that she had an employee who also committed suicide when she was "outed". But was the DC madam really killed?..it remains to be seen.

too many people in positions of power (or poised to attain them) did not want to risk embarassment, loss of office/position.  This had to be the work of someone, probably the same pro who did such a ggod job with Vince Foster.   But bet your last dollar it will be buried.

seriously, the bigger the agencies, and the more high profile their clients, the more I wish to avoid them...  just too risky....  local - low profile agencies or indys... seem to be a better bet in general - and that is where TER can help... reading the reviews, looking at who has seen the ladies etc.  all a part of the screening process.

Palfrey had threatend to release the names of well-known clients of her upscale call girl ring in the nation capital, and indicated that Dick Cheany my be one of them.

During several appearance on the Alex Jones Show, Palfrey also said she was at risk of being killed and the authorities would make it look like a suicide. She made it clear that she was not suicidal and if she was found dead it would be murder.

Heres a article on her 1991 courtcase:

Do Not review. They read the reviews, do the research but as far as writing a review...that doesn't happen. I see many sweet Gent who will never write a review.

they need to botch the autopsy.

They already HAD the names, and they weren't going to do anything about them.

More to the point, she might have blackmailed some, but I think the system would have protected a blackmail victim over her.

If you want to look at it from incentive, I could believe she might have had as much incentive as anybody to kill herself.  

It's bullshit when the political leaders are given a pass to victimize people with this crap.

I think they made it LOOK that way.  Too much at risk for the men.  So they did away with her.

the more they need to prove that their dick is the biggest dick around.... why else would someone named dick, be the most famous dick president ever!???  

I am sure that you do see guys who never write a review...   no question about that, why for I- the great one, I don't write about each and every encounter... and the vast majority of my early reviews have been removed from TER!  so - how to spot...?

Well the plain truth is, you really do not know who is writing or submitting the reviews, but if you see an agency that only has 1000 dollar gals (and they are not pornstars) - you can be sure that they've a steady clientelle in the upper rare group of gents who might have some clout...  they may have some reviews... but those are probably written by the hapless dude who saves up... splurges and voila there he is.

Read enough reviews, and hints to seek into some... clues, gotta look for clues.  You will never find a review that explicitly states "this review written by Dick Cheney" or "this review written by Charlie Sheen" and we know that he has had his share... and then some.

Those alleged records of her's potentially could have brought down scores of sanctimonious elected officials and their equally hypocritical appointees.

  The government owned court handed her a conviction, and the government paid judge levied a sentence worthy of a terrorist/mass murderer.  The police surely will find or manufacture ALL the evidence necessary to declare it a suicide.
The citizenry have again been spoon fed a fearful lesson in the futility of operating a business that government cannot control or tax, and the hypocrite elected solicitors and brokers of this murder will continue espousing the virtues of traditional family values while safely seven or more degrees separated from the actual murderer(s).

 I'm sure if the police had found her still alive and twitching in her hangman's noose there would have been justifiable reason to riddle her with 50 or more rounds from their service pistols.

If she had good names to use, the time to use them would have been before the trial to avoid a conviction. There's no point to holding off any of her ammunition until after the conviction and I'm sure her lawyers advised her of that. The threat of disclosing names were her best hope.

Now think about the conspiricy theories. What's the point of killing her after she's convicted? If she publishes names after she goes to jail just for revenge, the guys could dismiss her as a liar trying to enrich herself. There'd be no further trial or testimony to determine who the actual liar was. And if you want her dead so no names come out, the time to kill her is before she testifies - preferably way before she goes to trial, while she is still just making threats. Once she is in court, there is way too much risk that the names would come out in court.

Hard for me to believe that anybody powerful enough to hang her and make it look like suicide (with a note, btw) would not be smart enough to think this through and kill her before she could do any damage.

I think she couldn't stand the idea of going to jail. She disclosed the names she had. It wasn't enough. She lost big, and saw death as preferable to jail. That's what I think, anyway, and I think it is really sad. She may not have been a sympathetic figure to society at large but death is a pretty harsh outcome for her crime.

the other scenarios are so much more entertaining to ponder over. Sex, murder, politics, that's the stuff we're all interested in.

The penguin, I mean Dick Cheney did it. Where is Batman to solve the case?

Now quit applying logic to this case, you are ruining our fun.

particularly noting other people's description of her behavior other times sounds like she wasn't always completely connected.

Still & all, it could be easy to botch an autopsy.  I've seen some pretty damning stuff subpoenaed from cops, and there could easily enough be other stuff out there.

The whole episode reeks of political corruption, that is, we entertain ourselves with this voyeur shit instead of pitching in and having a good time.

If men are subject to the draft, where they lose years of their lives at best, and possibly all of it, then I think we need women's bodies to be drafted the same way.  Gender equality, I call it!

the kind of names that it would only take one of.

The fact is, she died because she chose to provide guys like us with a little sexual release.

I'm very upset and saddened by this.

Don't take this wrong, I don't mean to sound facetious or sacriligeous, but she has died for our sins.

I wish there was something more to do than just sound off about it.

Now, fish, she didn't know anything about what her ladies did with the men.  At least that's what she said.

She left three suicide notes, apparently wanting to leave no doubt that she was the one.

I will remind you also: the reason why she was given such heinous charges was because she refused to plea bargain. Apparently, she naively thought that once people knew who else was involved, the courts and country would go liberal about prostitution. She clearly thought she had done no wrong, even guilty as charged.

I agree with fisher.  Sad that she was largely alone through the whole thing.  Our hobby is our dirty little secret, she helped feed our desires and was persecuted for it.  And we were powerless to stop it.

For her sake, I don't know which (murder or suicide) I hope it is.  

If suicide, then at least it was her 'choice'
If murder, then an open ended investigation may bring about some positive change

I agree with mrfisher, so sad, frustrating.


"money laundering, racketeering and mail fraud"
isn't this nearly the same as Martha Stewart, but without the hypocritical negative stigma?

She is certainly a victim. I just wish that enough people could stand up to our government and get these laws overturned.
If abortion is is a right of privacy then why isn't this?
These are all consensual adults.
They all called her. She didn't go and find them.

quoting the msn story:

One of the escort service employees was former University of Maryland, Baltimore County, professor Brandy Britton, who was arrested on prostitution charges in 2006. She committed suicide in January before she was scheduled to go to trial.

Last year, Palfrey said she, too, was humiliated by her prostitution charges, but said: "I guess I'm made of something that Brandy Britton wasn't made of."

She died because she kept a book and threatened to out everyone in that fucking book. Not smart! I would rather play a round of Russian Roulette. She was playing Russian Roulette ---- with a semi-automatic!

I make no secret of my hobbying. She was not doing this out of some sense of public service,she was a business woman in an illegal business and fully aware of the risks, granted she was a victim of a hypocritical system, but let's not cannonize her into sainthood just yet.

doesn't mean she deserved to be killed, but she did up the ante and increase her risks.  You don't see the same kind of stories about the NY agency that Gov Hypocrite got busted.
