> Some of these professional disciplines included, but are not limited to, politicians, pharmaceutical executives, doctors, military officers, government contractors that possess security clearances, professors, lawyers, business executives, technology company executives, scientists, accountants, retail employees, and students. This list only encompasses a small sample of known customers that have been identified through investigative methods. I believe there are potentially hundreds of yet to be identified customers that may include other professional disciplines not included in the list above.

Zoinks! Some HN users are sweating.

Whenever I see this, my immediate thought is that such brothels are owned, operated and surveilled by three-letter agencies. Do we have any evidence of their involvement, in this case?

In other news, they're human

When the buyers are paying with other peoples' money the High-End has a business they wouldn't otherwise have.

Low-End regulars look forward to things like this quite a bit.

So many “elected officials” and “government officials” are compromised by blackmail it’s a foregone conclusion as they operate in a handicapped manner as far as policies that make this country competitive.
