while there is "some" truth to what you are saying, if you knew where to look, you will quickly find that the two escort agencies that went down were just a small part of the operation.

those who have been around know where to look..others are LE bait

Right now, it's a whirlwind of news for all us DC area hobbyists. Some true, some half-true, some opinions, and some out right false stories about the squashing of one group that ran/owned numerous agencies and controlled the women with strong-hand tactics. In addition, they became "king of the hill" and the entire operation was no longer even close to being secretive. Like so many others in the past, whether Mayflower Madam, Heidi Fleiss, or all the AMPs they bust once a year, once a turtle pokes his head far enough out of the shell it's in trouble.

The fact that this is FEDERAL rather than local is better for the everyone. The Feds will not allow the locals to get in the middle of this and start chasing John's and Girls and screw up a big FED conviction.

For all the hobbyists with the itch they still need scratched, I offer some small advice: Many people will start to try and take advantage of the current vacuum left by the sudden departure of the agencies, the girls, and the fear. As a hobbyist you run a greater risk of being ripped off, over charged, or caught by LE because you are desperate for that high.

Take a moment, sit back and relax, and in due time, things will settle down and be back to a much more normal hobby. In the interim, look for areas further away from the DMV if you can get away.

Just my 2 cents....

The recent events didn't affect me one bit
I still hobby and have no plans to quit
Seeing many beautiful ladies as I see fit

Avoid the obvious TGTGT and ones with no reviews
Stay away from cheap motels and signs of bruise
Use common sense, just be picky of who you choose

Despite the crackdown, DMV is still a great hobby town
With many gorgeous ladies in their evening gown
Lets all grab a condom and get down

With the agencies gone or severely curtailed, we should see an influx of indy's into our area. This should make it very easy for LE to set up sting operations.

And NO WAY would I ever see an alumni of any of those indicted operations. JUST TOO RISKY. Someone was feeding information and we should assume they still are.

Take a deep breath and relax. Get a set of regulars and rotate among them. Pay for the hotel if you don't fell comfortable with incall.

Considering the paranoia of a bust that surrounds our area, some agencies might ask for last four digits of your security number. Sheesh :s

I would hate to travel over 100 miles for some pussy, and that is what your suggestion. There are plenty of smart Indies out there that screen their clients and are discrete about it.

I wish we still had a moderator, cause I am getting tired of reading about the same OP that relates to the incident. You just have to hobby smart, you can still get laid in the DMV, but you have to do it the smart way.

An LE bust is not going to deter me from seeing providers because I know the proper steps of booking with a provider, and have been in these similar situations before. So far, I have no problems getting laid in the DMV area.

I appreciate your input, but this topic is getting old, and boring real fast.

Good answer. Use the girls you know are safe. There's plenty to choose from and if you do your research you won't have any problems.
