Let's say a bust happens

Not just any misdemeanor like a dui . This is a crime that females see as degrading and abusing women. Even a few yrs ago you'd be fired and with today's woke cancel culture you won't last a few hours when the females in HR find out. Just Google ' prostitution arrest ' news and see all the guys caught in a sting placed on leave.
Could be right. I do think that most employers don’t require you to disclose a misdemeanor that is unrelated to your job function.

Anyway, the only stings are Street hookers and hotel hookers. LE isn’t busting Johns at a well established AMP

Let's say a bust happens at one of the high end agencies in Manhattan and LE obtain mamasan's cellphone which contains your screening information (Name, Photo, Job occupation). What happens?

I have seen some people on here saying that they may end up putting your picture in a newspaper exposing you etc. However, as far as I know, anyone that has ever had their picture put in a newspaper was caught red-handed in person soliciting prostitution. Am I wrong in thinking that if LE did find your information, and text messages, as long as the conversation revolves around setting an appointment with a masseuse, nothing happens? At worst perhaps they store your number on file somewhere as potential dirt to be used against you in the future (for example, if you end up being a politician). But for the average layman, with an average blue collar job, you've theoretically done nothing illegal.

If I am incorrect, enlighten me.

It has happened.
Many, many times.
Twice even, with multiple agencies.
Nothing happened.
Never once got so much as a phone call.
And I never expected to either.
We're small potatoes. Not worth it.

Gentlemen, may I intervene? There is a hair of truth in many of your comments however, much requires calarification. Should your name, your address, your license with photo appear in their records, it is for all intents and purposes not an issue. Robert Kraft was (a) caught in the act on video in the course of an undercover sting (b) he is Robert Kraft. The holy grail of a bust is to take down a famous personality.

Getting published into the newspapers dates back to the " John Law" during the cleanup of New York City. Notice the name 'John' in the title, as in you got caught with your pants down. In that scenario, perhaps in an election year, they might post photos and the like in the paper. Highly unlikely. It opens the city up to too many lawsuits. Times are different today. During the bust of 2017, money laundering and tax evasion were the core areas of focus. The Feds confiscated over 70,000 names, photos, and phone numbers across 12 spas. Not one person was ever contacted nor published.

When should you be concerned? When you are handcuffed, booked, taken to Queens detention center or Rikers Island on a Friday and held until Tuesday for arraignment and or a bail/bond hearing. Believe me, you will know when it is time to worry. One thing I will caution you about, always bring some ID with you. I have read several reviews here where mongers boast of never bringing ID with them. LE has a right to ask you for ID. You must present it to an officer on demand. They have the authority to know who you are. There could be a warrent out for your arrest. You could be on parole ( not supposed to be at an AMP if you are). They have the right to detain you for 72 hours without charging you. Bring some pitcure ID with you. It is a long 72 hours.

99.9% of the time, unless you are caught in the act or passing money to an undercover person, male or female, nothing will happen. Do not be concerned about your name in the files. Be more concerned about winding up on the dark web or indentiy theft.

Agree. See post above, but
What the point of a burner phone? If you are trying to hide from a SO, okay, I understand. But hiding from LE with a burner? LOL. I am sure they can easily trace the number to who bought the phone, where it was bought, what time it was bought. Cell tower locations. I bet they can even find video of you buying it too.

Not to say they'd actually go thru all this trouble. But I don't think you are hiding anything in that particular area.[/QUOTE

Agree see post above. But a burner phone is still better than not, if for no other reason than it wont ring while dinner with you wife to find some strung out whore u visited last month on the other end! If nothing serious LE might dick around with the number a little bit and abandon the effort once they realize it's a burner. If real, you might get a call! Not NYPD, but some depts have nothing to do! Lol

Just because they have your general information, name, phone number etc is not enough evidence that a criminal act was committed. Even the act of getting a massage is not illegal however if the person doing the massage does not have a license, that person can be held responsible.

Now if the establishment documented who you saw, what kinky actions you like to perform

The Government can not publish your photo in a newspaper unless you are convicted. If they did, you would be a rich man suing the Government, the newspapers, etc. Your ex wife would be just as pleased with half of the settlement.

.
They can post your pictures if you are arrested, and they do! Do a Google search in NJ, they have posted names and pics of both guys and girls...at this point you are guilty in the court of public opinion, even if charges are dropped which I'll bet happens often in these cases...damage is done!

I think the worst that can happen if LE obtains an agency database is a potential visit at home or work to ask questions to see if you will incriminate yourself so they get you to testify... good luck explaining to your wife or boss what was this about...

They are more prone to do it in a small town where the. School PTA coerces the police to do it. It’s little big town politics .

It’s happens but not in NYC - we gave bigger problems and larger fish to fry

No time for that - not a concern - they are not coming to your office unless a check of yours shows up in one of their accounts

You have missed the number one thing a monger should be concerned about and that is their employment.
You are no doubt an attorney with your impressive knowledge of the law and procedures. But you get arrested on a prostitution charge your law firm will get rid of you. You need to disclose it or face even more shit.
Most serious mongers are professionals like finance , law etc. That's how they can pay for the hobby. So if a monger wants a reality check he should look at the code of conduct that they attest to each year and understand that a prostitution bust means the end. So the all stuff that happens after a bust like plea bargains etc mean very little since the mere arrest itself will destroy your life ... unless of coarse you have another way to make 350k a year .

I am self employed doesn’t apply here - however I see your point and how it applies to a worker . If you are afraid of heights don’t go out on the ledge
You only live once - that I know of

Guys, these busts where mongers are arrested and pictures posted in the paper are from POLICE STINGS. Not AMP busts.

cops posing as street hookers and hotel escorts should be avoided.

Cops are not arresting mongers at a massage place. The cops raid them bc of money laundering issues or noise complaints. They aren’t after the Johns. Especially in NYC.

Silk Tigers and many other were busted a few years back for laundering $. No John was arrested.

Once you are employed, most firms/banks/etc don’t ask you to attest yearly that you haven’t been arrested. Especially for a “crime” unrelated to your job.

Real issue is having the arrest in your record for future jobs.

You are seriously deluded on this.
No bank or firm wants their clients working with their employees who have a prostitution arrest.

Your observation regarding hotel situations is correct .
If you would like a good tip keep this one in your hat -

Aside from never utilizing women with no reviews or a phone number that Googles to nowhere , never see an in call woman at a hotel who will not offer outcalls in NYC . Why?

That is an indication the room is possibly wired , officers are in the adjoining room etc. it could be a setup. Not saying all the time . Most well known pros offer outcall , many prefer it or offer only outcall to slip the cost of a hotel room .

If God forbid you ignored the instincts of the big head opting instead for the little head, and find yourself wondering if it’s a setup, do this :

Offer no money, do not discuss sex, immediately try to kiss , grab her breasts , rub her ass. If she backs away demanding money, simply say “ Im sorry I think I have the wrong room “ Cut and run out the door exit stage left . That is a sting

From what I read, there are 3 ways for amps to get busted around in NYC: 1) Money Laundering 2) Girls getting trafficked and 3) Storefront Amps which is an eyesore for the community (especially in Queens and Brooklyn.) I would like to hear if there are any exceptions.

I'll bet every amp is guilty of money laundering.. do you think k they are actually reporting everything?
It’s like taxes and the IRS . The same rules of attraction and engagement apply :

(1) Repetitive cash transactions into a bank account without a supporting tax return.

(2) Offshore transfers equal to the cash deposits on a daily or weekly basis .

(3) Maintaining a lease without filing corporate taxes on a state or federal level

(4) Flashing the cash - high living inclusive of expensive real estate , especially an all cash closing , driving a six digit car - basically living like a rock star with no visible source of income

(5) Advertising on the web or social media including descriptions like BBBJ or GFE .

One needs to wake the sleeping giant up in. order to garner that type of attention. When you do, rest assured, you will not like what happens next .

Low profile , proper screening and having an accountant set you up as a legitimate business all help to mitigate risk. If you get busted but pay taxes , worst you will draw is practicing massage without a license -

Aim low shoot high - happy humoring
