Great review thank you for taking the time to write! I am ever so curious tho.. when it comes to prices for massages etc.. why are they like encrypted in this weird code format? I don’t think it adds any layer of protection or discreteness but rather just confuses the shit outta some people.. now given this one wasn’t all that hard to decrypt.. but what’s the purpsoe behind it?

The purpose is to conceal vital information from law enforcement who are not able to decipher this intricate and complex code. Has been working for centuries, don't mess this good thing up!

Hmm interesting I honestly never knew that but thanks for sharing! Has it really worked though? It’s not necessarily rocket science and when there are bust.. there are arrest...and I’m sure LE has deciphered far far more intricate codes with gangs and drug lords.. this is more of a nuisance to me lol

Only throwing my 2 cents in but I always thought the idea behind it was to inject a bit of ambiguity just in case these messages are ever used for a legal matter (i.e. if they are somehow seized and used as "evidence"). I used to be on another board where they used the acronym SWIM... ever here that before? Someone Who Isn't Me. They would write all their "fantasy stories" by saying SWIM did this and SWIM did that. For awhile I was like what is this a forum about pool maintenance?? hahah. In some ways it seems stupid but I always thought there must be a legal basis behind all of that. Or maybe its just wishful thinking.

Oh yes, this rivals the Navajo Wind Talkers of WWII.
ROFLMAO. I guess a shorter better summary would be, people probably do this to minimize the info they put out there which is can't be disputed. If you say I paid $500 for XYZ there is no way to say it means something else. Even if it's obvious and we aren't "fooling anyone", perhaps in certain situations, that ambiguity may help you get out of a jam in the future. Maybe not. I guess it's like anything. Most security is illusion.

Yes its right up there with the whole “police don’t have credit cards so they can’t read the private details” thing.
