But a disgruntled provider or two threaten to out them so they quit

A major reviewer was busted ,snitched, and ruined it for everyone.

What I heard from several sources was that a hobbyist who did the M&G screenings got himself busted.

....would to begin with a very small number of verified guests, and grow from there.  I am involved with a wonderful yahoo group, that offers meet and greets twice a year.  It is run very well, and there are an abundance of rules to follow, which keeps everyone "in check", and keeps us UTR, but it works very well for us.  It is, however, not based in DC, but could be emulated.

Hugs and Kisses

Not picking on you jung1 , but you have been misinformed, no provider threatened to out the M&Gs.
There was no mass retirement of all the local ladies and the active board members became inactive because of all this, not before. Trust me, they're all still around.
It came from someone that was trusted within this community. Who it was, was never made perfectly clear. You can choose which rumor you want to believe.
At any rate, LE knew a lot about what was going on.
The information was too direct to be ignored.

While it's true that we weren't doing anything illegal, if enough attention were given most of us would have been embarrassed at the very least. Imagine your picture shown on the local Fox News story about a gathering of prostitutes and johns. Imagine being taken downtown for questioning, how would anyone explain that absence to their families. What if someone were to be actually arrested? What if someone was threatened and got scared and started running their mouth?

We organized the M&Gs for fun. To have to worry about whether a guest is going to have to go through anything remotely close to any of those scenarios is too much. We don't want to have to do it, we don't want any of you to have to go through it. We decided it would be better not to have one at all.  

With that level of scrutiny, we weren't going to have one again anytime soon. At this point, it's been kind of nice not to be always planning, screening, recruiting, and organizing the next one. Trust me, it's a lot of work.

Thanks to the guys and girls that did help organize these things.
They were a lot of fun and I miss the interaction.
If anyone ever wants to pick up the mantle, it's yours, go for it.
Screen heavily.
Trust no one.

Well, the guys that set up the earlier M&G's did carefully verify all their invitees.  Then one invitee got busted and flipped, and pulled the rug out from under everyone's feet.

The guys who set up the M&G's did a LOT of unheralded work and just about got taken down by the events of last year.  I wouldn't blame them if they never went back to setting up another M&G...

Thanks to the guys who set them up!  Those M&G's were great fun, but will likely never be the same again, if they even happen again...

They also stopped during the time when escorts.com got busted in PA.  That was a part of it too.  There was a lot of LE activity in DC and MoCo too.  And there were some unpleasant postings on BackPage.  Understandably everyone got spooked.  THAT'S why they stopped happening.  Not due to the BS you are trying to sling here.

I hate it when people like you who have NO CLUE as to what really happened make shit like this up just to stir the fucking pot!  The cancellation of the DC M&G's had nothing to do with disgruntled providers.  It's easy enought to remove unwanted people from the invite list.  So your reasoning is as rediculous as your post.

So save your BS.  It's not even remotely close to being the truth.  

lol..nope, ain't gonna happen!

Nothing illegal ever happened at a M&G but who wants to mingle with undercover LE

The M&G stopped because of increased LE activities. There is no specific reason.

The meet and greets stopped because most of the girls that attended retired and the active board members became inactive.  LE had nothing to do with it as they weren't orgies...just friends getting together for drinks, which as far as I know is not illegal.

WOW that was harsh! I was just repeating what I was told.

Whoever told you that was either ignorant or lied. When I read your post I thought it might be from the GUY who flipped everybody's info, testing the waters to see if folks had forgiven or forgotten.

As soon as a new organizer comes around. Those who use to organize it got tired and decided it wasn't worth the risks and trouble any more.

So if you want to start one, go ahead. They can be simple meetings, or if you know how to organize a party and have a few $$ to put down on a private location then it's a blast.

As far as the rumors go. No one got busted, and yes there was a lot of LE activity back then. Eventually those who use to do all the work got tired.

So have at it. Someone take charge and post on the MnG board.

Best of Luck

1) Very few of the girls who attended them have retired
2) True, they were just legitimate meetings for drinks, BUT the hobbyist doing the screening was busted and sang like a birdie.
3) LE had everything to do with it. Gathering intel is something they do.

...OK, so I make a post on TER for a M&G and LE is watching.  Then on the day of the M&G that is located and conducted at a 1. public bar and/or restuarant or 2. private location (but no sex just "networking").  I've attended both types.  How and for what reason/s can LE bust you for?!?!?!?

I'm no lawyer, but MAKES NO SENSE!

Thank you MnG_Incorporated!  You guys put together some great mixers that I will remember for the rest of my life.  You are da bomb!  But I totally understand why you don't want to continue.  It's too bad that things had to end up the way they did...

I would say what I want to you but I think it would get me banned
