Well, Dang!

So...the same couple owned all three spas..interesting.

"Forced to perform...", "atrocities" ...
Wow...that really sounds inaccurate and overly sensationalized based on my experience, however limited it may be.

Have to use strong language and hysteria to justify their illegal search warrants and raids!!

I would be really surprised if that were true, but what do I know. Maybe too complicated to address multiple independent ownerships, and focusing on one just makes a tidier story while gaining the same outcome.
Rainbow and Royal were Korean shops while Bloom was Chinese. Don't usually see a lot cross-ethnic ownership, but then again - what do I know.
I'm really going to miss Lisa at Bloom! And, of course, the delightful ladies at Rainbow and Royal!

I believe that "atrocities" is Karenese for "sex acts".

Perhaps of note for mongers is there is no mention of customers being nabbed, let along charged.
Although they dressed it up as a crusade to rescue trafficked persons, it looks like the main impetus here was tax fraud, insurance fraud, money laundering, etc., and that they targeted mainly one married couple, painting them as criminal masterminds.

Whoever led this case is probably getting promoted too! Total BS. Basically ran a cash business and didn’t report all their income….every cash business in the world does that.

It looks like the owner's of Bloom have a long legal road ahead of them. I never knew it a was husband and wife team.

We will have to start searching the suger baby sites and hitting college females interested in making some extra coin. Chances are we will be spending time with LE family members. Could you imagine getting a sensual massage from the Attorney General's daughter?

Not sure if related, but there's a News Journal article in the Sunday paper about a female owner of 3 shops.

Yup, same story repackaged. Note how the "human trafficking" takes top billing in the headline.

 

[Maestro714]

Also in the Newark Post and Delaware State paper.

Although it wouldn't be so nice for the persons involved, I wish they would do the perp pix thing so I could figure out if that Xui Li Kong was the Lisa I saw at Bloom.

 

[Maestro714]

Yes it is.

 

[automatic_tiger]

Yes it is.

Wow! I knew that she had a child, and I once asked her if she had a husband and she said yeah, but he's back in China and out of the picture. Hmmm...

 

[Maestro714]

She told me the same . She must be married, her house is huge.

 

[Agrt1]

One thing for certain, I'm going to miss Gina's massage & back walking at Royal.

 

[automatic_tiger]

She told me the same.

I guess that version plays better when talking to customers

Another place in Newport area closed for a month. It’s no extra place though but I doubt they have a license.

KC?
