No, HDS didn't get hit.
Lovely and K fest didn't exist during the time Blue was open. You're conflating the timing.
Sun has always been around. But Juju and Bali were emphasized way more. Bali first, then Juju later on. Finally Sun. They're all under the same umbrella and they were all open at the same time. Your timing is off.
I have been screened by W2H. Same two reference system as AS. Nothing particularly hard. Other people like to make up stories about AS asking for things like bank account numbers but that's not the case.
As for why AS is the only one getting hit,one is a matter of geography. The W2H studio that got hit, downtown, was a terrible place logistically to make an incall. It was an indoor apartment and the unit was right smack in the middle of the hall, so it was very easy for neighbors to see people going up and down the hallway every hour. Sooner or later, someone will report. The second time, well, bad luck? It's always possible for a butthurt customer to turn them in.
The other agencies don't have enough time to focus on competing businesses. They're too busy trying to get line ups and managing the talent to spend time going after one another. Originally Posted by Doom guy
