I'm starting to use more aspects of this business. Organized crime protects and operated these establishments. Don't blame em. These are money making machines. A provider told me yesterday the Chinese Mafia or triads are by far the most dangerous and prevalent. Very interesting. Any thoughts?

Got to stop watching movies bro. Ain't the wild wild west where guys shoot up clubs and coffee shops.

There's crime all over but more "sophisticated". Just look up reputable articles about the modern Yakuza. Dudes investing in tech and a bunch of stuff.

The cartels in Colombia are about making money. They're not going to shoot up places or blow up civilian planes. Just dont step on people's toes.

What's happening in Mexico is another thing tho.

Given how many of these women are getting slapped up and robbed lately, they're still hiding.
Fuzzy logic. Maybe those women don't work at one "those" places. Some spas are independent. Or, you hear about the robbery, but not about what happens afterwards. They may be really good at hiding that part too.

On some level mafias have to be involved. most of these chicks are illegals. Watch the sopranos or michael franceze interviews. Murder is the absolute last thing these groups do. It attracts LEO which fucks up the money. Michael Franceze talked about how killing anyone was a huge deal and was not decided on a whim, it was something of last resort reserved for extreme situations. He said if people owed him money it would escalate to a beatdown where your bones got broken. He said after a beatdown like that everyone figures out a way to pay or to offer something that ends the debt. He said almost no one escalated to the bone breaking beatdown.

Chuck Norris “ An Eye for an Eye” address the Triad - a cult classic vintage Chuck

The Yakuza with the great Robert Mitchum another cult classic .

If they give you a knife and a sushi board it’s time to pay up or lose a finger to show respect .

I arrived early and was put in the waiting area at one of the popular GFE shops. I can hear peeps coming going, girls voices, mms voice, client voice, spoken english, spoken Asian, blah blah, busy day.

At one point, the curtain/divider gets pulled aside and some tough looking Asian guy in sunglasses is staring at me. Doesn't say anything, just stares for 5-10 seconds, then closes the curtain/divider.

No idea who that was, but definitely not a customer. Never saw him before or again since.

Many amps, Korean room salons and Japanese Piano bars have an “investor” who invest a portion and receives a %.
Many Korean business owners in Manhattan, NJ and Flushing get financial assistance from these investors too.

It cost a Korean room salon around $20K to bring one girl from Korea to America. You give a Korean room salon a $250K loan and you can either charge interest or drink a few times a month for free.

Asian men who do real business don’t usually wear sunglasses so he’s probably just the boyfriend of one of the girls. lol

in Korean culture, it’s very rude to look at someone while wearing sunglasses so if he was Korean, I would have told him to take off his sunglasses and learn some basic manners.

I enjoyed this one...
Warrior (netflix)
Set during the Tong Wars in late 1870s San Francisco, the series follows Ah Sahm, a martial arts prodigy who emigrates from China in search of his sister, only to be sold to one of the most powerful tongs in Chinatown.
In an Eye of an Eye Mako a well known actor ( The Killer Elite) has a phrase that applies to life .

He is always criticizing Norris for his brutal technique. Yet in a fight that is giving him trouble Mako hits the opponent with a telephone . Norris gives him a look, Mako exclaims “ a warrior takes advantage of what is at hand , there is no shame in that ‘

That was one of the most entertaining mini series that I can remember watching.
