They got raided this morning multiple arrest

Waterman - thanks for the info.

It was inevitable, many of the local AMPs have gotten brazen in what they offer and how open they are about it.

I hope none of you guys got caught up in this. I think it is only a matter a time before Burnt Hills, Waterford, and Queensbury get raided. Part of the reason I have been out of the game for 6 months.

It is too bad because they have been providing some of the best, safest, and most convenient service in the area.

Any link? Curious if involved owner/employees/customers?

Crazy. But, yes, they were pretty open about the menu.

Not sure if anyone has been to BH this week. I decided to try to swing by Monday when I was out and about. Its such an out of the way place for me. Messaged in the morning and was told Coco was working. Got close and was told "Honey we closed." when I texted to setup something. Could be just bad coms but seemed odd to me. FBI on site is more than just a local bust.

Apparently they hit Rotterdam and Waterford

FBI descends on Moon Spa Massage parlor in Rotterdam, information limited

I'm interested to see what happens with the fallout. Usually they just arrest the chicks for operating an unlicensed massage business, but that is State level. I Wonder what the scuttlebutt is on the federal level? I sure would hate to be one of the cats caught in that net when they came knocking though.

Not going to happen. The FBI nor state agencies are interested in the clients, but rather the racket itself. Unless you’re caught IN the act, anyone there will likely just be used at witnesses - usually in exchange for no charges and even then if there were charges, it’s a misdemeanor and would likely result in only a fine or some program you’re required to complete.

Nobody is coming knocking anywhere.

It’s not practical for LO to do that. The privacy laws alone surrounding massage establishments such as the reasonable expectation of privacy makes it incredibly difficult to engage in any kind of surveillance within the rooms. If there are cameras in the rooms out there by the owner, and they footage reveals you plowing one of these girls with you being identifiable… unless there is clear audio and video of you handing over cash explicitly stating this is for sexual services, or with your strong intention for it, there’s nothing to he done but charge the owner with unlawful surveillance. If you pay for a massage with tip up front, zero conversation, there is zero case. It was consensual between two adults. This is why mongers always complain about negotiations before activities. Not a good idea.

With all that said… a good place is now gone and another will eventually spring up. The money is too good. Moon probably raked in hundreds of thousands before today. The FBI and state agencies are playing wack a mole and I’m sure it’s frustrating for them and for us. There are 2 bills active in the assembly to decriminalize this with very good support and reason. NYC dismissed 1,000 prostitution cases not long ago and is refusing to pursue charges for those engaging in it. The bills would still make sex trafficking, money laundering, and other illegal activities outside of the prostitution itself, illegal.

Today, we mourn the loss of a wonderful establishment.

If you all want to keep a great place around, how about sharing via PM’s to senior members when you find a joint to keep business coming in. Keep that intel off these fucking forums. I get the want to keep a secret for availability reasons when you do find a good new place, but be assured… your wallet alone won’t keep it going.

PM’s gentleman. Operate in the shadows.

I was there Monday and planned on writing a great review... guess not now. Too bad. I do agree with Freelancer.... there will be others popping up.

Yep! And it’s because this is a MAJOR honey hole. The local escort scene is absolutely garbage with users, shitty TCB skills and outrageous rates. The AMO’s are the go to’s when you find a good one. They should pop up more to keep the attention down, all operating as moon did.

I’m sure they will.

Accidental duplicate post

I see the report on Chanel 6 news lists charges against owners but I do not see any against patrons.

They arrested the owner at there house in Rotterdam it was all about sex traffic in

It not really about legal jeopardy for the client. At worst likely pay a fine and or go to class. It about having your name and perhaps pic in the papers n other media. Depending on your personal situation, can have huge negative impact on your life.
