"Worried about this being moved to PPP"." Seriously? What a HUGE worry to have.

 

Your opinion of my comments is noted and disregarded.

PPP clearly operates under a different set of rules than the main board. I'm sure I'm not alone in my belief that a thread about the owner of a rival team should stay on the main page.

This is really, really bizarre.  Multiple billionaires getting busted over $50 handies? How did the cops get their names and birthdates?  Were they paying with credit cards?  How did the cops get video access?  Unusual for the perps to be the main target of a massage parlor bust, they usually just shut the place down, arrest the owners, and send the johns home.  But this was a full-on sting with the customers seemingly the main target - this is all just super weird.

THIS. He can have them come to him with ultimate discretion through payment and non disclosures. It makes no sense for him (or anyone with his notoriety or money) to visit a place like this. What am I missing 

 

That was my question...a short private Lier Jet ride and he is in a country where they don't care how he gets his jollies.

 

Perhaps it was simple hubris.

 

Maybe once you have armies of lawyers and tons of money you just start to believe your above getting nailed for same things the common folk get arrested for doing.

Kraft will skate.  It's not like he knelt to protest police brutality or anything.  That would be criminal. ?

Funny part is, the guy that knelt still won in the end. 

 

I don't underestimate what the NFL will do to not look bad in public eyes.

The PGA players all live in Jupiter FL.

 

Kraft was charged with paying for sexual services at Orchids of Asia Day Spa in Jupiter FL. 

 

Supposedly someone more important than Kraft was charged too.  Thought it might be one of these PGA guys.

 

 

How about the boyfriend of a LPGA player?

How did he not know this place was involved with sex trafficking (as reported) IF (as you guessed) he knew the owner?

I live within a half mile of this place, my door to door is 3 mins and thats with the gate house. They started pulling the johns over after they left orchid for traffic stops and questioned them, some confessed, then they clearance to install cameras, I remember that night because they blocked it off like the bomb squad but only the one office space. So they had cameras and would get the vehicle tags and ID the drivers. Also where Kraft lives once you drive over the palm beach bridge the cameras scan your plate and check for warrants, bad tags, insurance etc. They have cops sitting on the island waiting for people to drive over the bridge. Kraft was taken by his personal driver so easy to identify in palm beach island then again here in Jupiter.

 

Also the original report mentioned 4 girls being ages 13-18, that has disappeared, I wonder if its beacause of the high profile list, for the girls protection or if it was miscommunication.

That is good info and it is wild - there are tens of thousands of rub-and-tug joints in this country and the authorities went all in on this one?  Why??

It seems like they hit multiples throughout Florida at the same time? I wonder if they consider it one big network or something like that?

  God to bring it to its knees but some kind of major financier that put that operation together.

 

It’s law enforcement. Human trafficking is an enormous issue. What could be worse? The one they shut down in Orlando was in the hood, not full of billionaires. I don’t think there is a billionaire benefactor who is behind these stings. It’s the police doing their jobs. We pay taxes to make this happen, and I’d pay more if we could eradicate such horror. (And I’m kinda cheap!) 

 

 

It’s like drug stings where they take down 20-30 people at once. It’s a scourge and needs to be dealt with.  You build the case, then you lower the hammer.

I think he's supposing that a billionaire might be behind the establishment that got busted, hence the prevalence of it.

I don’t know, it wasn’t clear to me but I read it the other way. I don’t think any billionaires deal with anything quite this dirty. This makes the drug cartels like like Girl Scouts.

  You misunderstood what I was trying to say.  I am saying that it may be a wealthy individual or individuals that put this brothel together along with others in Florida.

Oh, I think you could be surprised by that.

Sex slaves

 

 

Do you need a better reason?

 

 

They ALL use forced labor - something about this particular establishment caught law enforcement’s attention, enough to do a full stakeout with pre-installed cameras etc.  This cost time and money and was clearly a law enforcement priority.

  When you look at guys like Bill Gates you don't think about them involved in this kind of stuff but when you look at billionaires from other parts of the world you never know.  The kind that think people are commodities to be traded like oil or wheat.

Sorry for misunderstanding. Whatever the deal is, I hope they get to the bottom of it and everyone gets what they deserve. What could make a person think that they could do that to someone else. I don’t know how these things are structured, but I know it’s FAR too common.

It wasn't just this one in the sting, there were 10 in all, with almost 300 "clients".

  Going by what was said at the top of this page I would say clearly under age girls being forced to work there.  Sick as it may be there was a ring busted in NY looking for women over age 18 that looked much younger "for modeling" several years back.

Odds are that is not the only area that was targeted. It's just the first to involve some big names.

Maybe we should, you know, wait for all the information to come out before coming to conclusions.

  I get what you are saying but the Jupiter authorities have already stated that Kraft will be charged on Monday.  Podunk law enforcement agencies don't pursue hit or miss cases involving a billionaire.  The DA and probably those above the DA did their homework to levy whatever charges they have planned.

I think enough information has already come out to be appalled. I don’t know who’s guilty, and of what, be we KNOW appalling actions have taken place. I’m not condemning anyone, just saying everyone needs to be held accountable as they deserve. I try very hard not to judge, because that’s not my job. I just hope for justice, whatever that may look like.

They aren't all like that. Where I live at the moment these kinds of places are pretty common. The girls are all there by choice, and some of the bigger places (soapy bath houses) are run by the Yakuza, so the girls are paid relatively well and go home at the end of the day. It's a totally different situation when people are taking advantage of legal immigrants. They take their passports/visas and essentially force them to stay there and "work". I'm guessing having what is essentially slave labor, including possible child slaves, is what causes the police to justify putting the time and money into investigating this.
