SD, can you name or show us any giant client/escort international busts lately? If not, why has it not happened? Because, in spite of LE wanting to make a name for themselves, they have have bigger fish to fry, like protecting the populace from more dangerous shit.
A few months ago, some bag of shit state rep. in Austin vowed to step up the pressure on this industry...where the fuck is she??? She's LAST IN LINE because LE does not have the numbers to herd a bunch of cats.
This is at the end of a long line of terrorists, mass shootings, murders, rapists, child abusers, robbers, embezzlers, thieves, etc. We don't HURT anyone.
Just because they can track down international emails, phone records (including yours) and other evidence doesn't mean they will.
Don't you think they would have done it by now?

I do not wish to direct link one of the RICO inspired activities for a hobby related activity from the Fed website it is on, but here is just one example on a smaller scale:
"Strip Club Corporations and Associates Sentenced for RICO Conspiracy and Prostitution-Related Charges Strip Clubs Closed, Properties Forfeited to Feds"
So, therefore if you take the collective experience and cross-state/cross border commerce connections of a site like this plus the other hobbyist verification site and then couple them with the review based confirmation of paid illicit activities a clever person would net a bigger gain (impact) than a few strip clubs in one area and the press would eat it up (locally and nationally). Again, it only takes one very ambitious DA or US Atty for the DOJ to make it happen and maybe that person hasn't been born yet. I don't know.
My only real advice is to drop the notation of exact fee for service rendered or work it so that it's not an explicit confirmation (something less direct regarding amount/fee for a specific session). That's all. Nothing more. If you noticed, I'm still here despite it all. I just felt obligated to spell out the potential risk and to remind anyone that in reality they are not really that anonymous on this site, other sites, nor from activities on their mobile devices.
Happy Halloween!
