He really leveraged his hobbying to a whole new level. Hope he writes a book. To manage 12 spas is an amazing management feat. The drama with managing one spa is more than most can handle. And the amount of cash ! Wonder over what time period that amount was collected. If the owners made that much, how much did the providers make?

Yeah these ladies are living good too. I hate that they always make the ladies working seem like it’s forced or they treat them like slaves. Definitely making more than some random job they’d get, as long as it’s voluntary I’ll never understand the issue.

Prostitution is mostly a victimless crime in the USA. So LEO takes it on themselves to redefine the truth, so that the good citizens can see how wonderful they are to be putting these sex trafficking, oppressors of women away.

meanwhile up here, the case of the owner I know who was arrested 4-5 years ago is still not in trial and all the money the police confiscated is still in their hands (or pockets). If I lived in Tampa, I’d be watching for which cop upgraded his car early next year.

I remember one police jurisdiction used $20,000 in seized cash for a Holiday Party with strippers and escorts.

I learned this early in life. I was 17 - bought a case of beer for a party - very distinctive Shlitz Tall boy cans. I was underage, of course. Police pulled me over immediately and confiscated the whole case. A few hours later I drove by the police station on my way home, and could see them drinking my beer in the lobby.

Absolute power corrupts, absolutely.

Its always been an issue. Up in NY it amazes the types of cars you'll see parked along of the precincts with cop permits. Even if it was purchased at police auctions which still needs to be settled in cash, we're talking about high end porsches, brand new AMGs or M series, top of the line g wagons, ive ever seen lambos and Ferrari. It doesn't matter how much over time they do, there is no way they can afford thise on PD salaries. The temptation is there to anyone first on the scene or first to investigate an area if they find something that isn't entirely necessary to support the bust then it could be their's alone to ever know of. How many times to
Do you hear on the news that some criminal is presumed to be worth 100s of millions but when arrested only a few million are ever recovered. Sure some of it is hidden well but the cops already know that can't find everything so why would they bother to turn in everything they find.

My favorite Asset Seizure story involves some sort of civic club held a dinner dance in Detroit, but forgot to get a permit. They were set up.

The police moved in and impounded 50 cars in the parking lot. Patrons were charged $900 each to get their cars back. The precinct split the impoundment proceeds with the towing company.

Please tell me it was the dance hall from Dr. Detroit where they held the Pimp of the Year awards and Dr. Detroit danced with James Brown.

Oh...damn...hold on...that was Chicago...

Dude get real what would u do? Police get paid shit. You come across some money or a chance to have a nice car 9 out of 10 of us are taking it, highly doubt you’re the 1 honest person. Sucks for most of us that we don’t come across situations like that at our jobs lol

I don't know why your attacking me about that.. Nothing to "get real" about. We're both litterly explaining the same rationale. This doesn't have anything to do with me or what I would do or what anyone else who's not in that scenarios would do. It's fair to bring the points I made in the context of this thread. Attacking me doesn't excuse the people actually perpetrating that stuff or justify it. Imagine if you were at a trial and the lawyers defense tells the public and the jury "my client is guilty but you're not any better." How far do you think that would get them?

Police don’t get paid shit, at least in many states. Someone I know who was average, no college degree, a sergeant, was making $145,000. That was his base salary and does not include overtime.
