I have a couple of concerns: A grand jury proceeding usually requires witnesses or witness statements, so....who? Without a reciept (did anyone write a check?) it's a tough case to prove, and if it was a "provider" she would have committed a crime herself and probably made a deal to get out of it? Kinda doubtful a transaction would have been made in front of others. If you go to a strip club and buy a drink and (awful) food, paying a entrance fee...isn't it the same thing as what happens there? The emails quoting prices could be problematic for him. Hard to prove he didn't take a cut, but then....not his burden to prove. Someone wholly on the righteous side of things would have ben better off not wasting this time and money, but rather had the NYSP have a quiet chat, tell him what they heard, and strongly suggest he stop. But for me the bottom line is....if someone wants to hang out with friends and is willing to chip in for food and drink, who the F cares? Trafficking? No Commissions paid? Prove it. Unless proven otherwise all was between consenting adults involved so MYOB. Thoughts?

Once they had access to all of his emails, as well as all of the people he was in contact with over that time, he was screwed. They also likely had acess to his account long before 12/25, so they probably collected more evidence in real time. Sad thing is, some of those others he was in contact during that time may also have some issues coming their way as well, because you can bet your last dollar the State and the Feds put eyes on them as well.
