Customers are not named in the affidavit, according to the agent, because the investigation into their involvement is “active and ongoing.” these are the type of people who don’t get held accountable, ever.
Or, you know, they don’t have any evidence that a crime actually was committed. These people aren’t morons and know that unless they are caught exchanging money for sex they are off the hook. The fact that they have their name in this group is not even remotely enough to even charge someone with a crime, let alone get a conviction.
People will claim millennials will inherit the wealth of the boomers as their children. But most won’t. It will be spent on cruises, gambling, healthcare, assisted living, nursing homes, and so on.
Sure. I’m just responding to an often reported “fact” that no one should worry that millennials have no wealth, because they will inherit their parents’ wealth. A few will sure (particularly the already wealthy), but many will inherit little to nothing. Wealth concentration will just get worse.
Yeah my mum will need to sell up to live on through retirement and my dad has a much younger wife that is not blood related to me so I’ll never see anything there.
I managed to work my way to home ownership but it’s still a struggle.
Okay this is the second time I’ve seen a quote like this in the past couple days. Yet the only time I’ve ever seen this quote was on QI. Rich Hall asking Stephen Fry if he could be milked.
Shit, entry-level cars still run you $20k or better in the US, and that’s without any options. I just had to price a new car last year and literally nothing new was on the market in my area for less than $25k. Your old Toyota Tercel that you bought for $6k in the 80s doesn’t exist anymore. That brand-new Camry that’ll run for 30 years and only costs $12k is now double that, at least.
I got a 2023 Hyundai Elantra Limited with all the options for $27,000 earlier this year and that was brand new. The standard/base Elantra was several thousand less. There was another model below the Elantra for even less. I also didn’t haggle and took the price as marked, so who knows. Perhaps someone more charismatic than myself could have done better on it.
I still over paid, don’t get me wrong. The same car with all the features before Covid would have probably been around $22-23k.
Edit: Wow, after reading the page, this is way worse than I thought. Omegle founder was an actual hero, and the reason for shutdown is incredibly unfortunate
Makes me wonder if a previous Pope had to specifically decree that left-handed people can be baptized. I swear people will invent the most bizarre and arbitrary rules to exclude people who are different in some way and then pretend the rule they just made up appears verbatim in whatever book they think God wrote.
The primary existence of the Pope just seems to be a social update system. Because of the whole divine appointment nonsense, whatever the Pope says is supposed to be from the lips of God. But the only thing I’ve ever seen that used for was for nutty stuff by nutty popes and these types of decrees. Basically just updating the Bible to what’s currently socially acceptable.
The Pope is literally just a religious version of Windows Update. For a God that’s supposedly infallible and never makes mistakes, no less.
Alleged prospective sex buyers in this scheme first had to respond to a survey and provide information online, including their driver’s license photos, their employer information, credit card information, and they often paid a monthly fee to be part of this.”
Wait, what? (͡•_ ͡• )
That should make the prosecutors jobs much easier.
Wow, imagine willingly providing that information to what you know is a criminal organization. The people who signed up are obviously a major security hazard to whoever they work for.
Seriously. How dumb do you need to be to be in an actual high ranking (government) position and willingly give up all that info to an even slightly shady organisation? Never mind an illegal prostitution network you are sure is both illegal and easily blackmailable.
Say something is exclusive and idiots will do anything to get in.
Facebook got so huge because at first you had to be in college to be on it. After a couple years they opened it up to everyone and pretty much everyone signed up.
Sex work should be legal and the morality discussion here is about people lying to their spouses and if anybody is being forced into sex work… all interesting topics.
But anybody implicated in this situation needs all security clearances and access dropped because they are high risk morons.
I’m guessing it was that one P411 website or whatever. That site has been in the news in the past. It baffles me that people would willingly comply with such invasive identification requirements for something that’s illegal. I get the idea behind it is to try and prove that you’re not a cop/murdery type of criminal in order to protect the sex workers, but… yeah, lol.
Criminals and criminals masquerading as religions love to get blackmail on their clientele/members, it’s probably the more lucrative part of their enterprise, and it keeps those members/clientele loyal, because who wants their nasty ass secrets leaked out or sold to their enemies?
Not really, because the people who made the survey are probably smart enough to not include anything about exchanging money for sex. Basically, there’s nothing illegal about filling out a survey about who you are and what are your likes or dislikes. There’s also nothing illegal for someone to pay another person for their time.
So no mention of exchanging money for sex and it’s incredibly hard to prosecute.
No idea if you’re right or not but that’s not what I meant. I meant they don’t have to hunt down the johns, the johns already provided all the possible info the prosecutors would need to find them.
How exactly does that help? It’s not like they are going to do stake outs on these guys. It’s not enough probable cause for any type of warrant or anything.
It would help support a case if you already had one, but as an entry point it’s all but completely useless, if not actually completely useless.
Which is why they won’t release the names, because doing so would open them up to lawsuits. All risk no reward.
I think what the person above was implying is that having your name on that list is not de-facto evidence of participation. I’m sure the DOJ has more than just that one piece of evidence if they’ve already made arrests, because sex workers in America are nothing if not extremely careful about how they conduct their business to avoid exposing themselves or their clients to law enforcement stings.
Are Johns (and sex workers) even worth prosecuting? I think the DOJ is interested in a organized prostitution ring and it’s leaders, involved in conspiracy and money laundering, not a few dudes paying for (adult) sex.
None of that’s illegal, aside from the card info it’s actually a lot of the things a trustworthy sex worker will be asking you for as a background check before agreeing to meet you.
Not a Colorado thing. A US thing. Having spent most of my life outside the US, I can tell you that most people in other developed countries often shake their heads in disbelief at US events and news stories. And it’s not getting any better.
But the appellate judge ruled Tuesday that the interception and recording of mobile phone activity did not meet the Washington Privacy Act’s standard that a plaintiff must prove that “his or her business, his or her person, or his or her reputation” has been threatened.
Privacy violations ARE A THREAT. Identity theft is a massive threat. Any man in the middle attack is a threat.
Federal judges are corrupt as fuck. I bet that was a Trump appointee.
