Since it has been referred to here, I attach a PDF I made of the lengthy article in the Cecil Whig about the run-up to and execution of the bust at Spa Aromatherapy in late 2020.
The criminal mastermind in charge of the operation, Bifang Zhong, I think might have spent 6 months in jail.

Yeah anyone who reads that article on the last bust in basically the same location and still goes; must get a thrill out of the potential of looking up from their activities to see Leo standing over them.

So which ones are safe in Cecil or Newark and worth it? Most of the ones in Newark, except the one that was on Route 40 by the movies, were all self service. No thanks. I am not going to the one by Wawa. That just seems insane. Is the one around the corner still open? That used to be the quiet, down-low spot. Always did well there.

There are a few ‘quiet’ locations but checking reviews may be the best bet. Putting the more low key places in this public forum may make them less low key.

Mamasan texted me that these comments are doing a number on their business. She reports that she has seen no shady characters in G-man vehicles nor heard directly about any, no customers have reported having been stopped or questioned, and their vestibule system (outer door open) should allow visitors to avoid scrutiny and yet maintain tight security. There's also their back door. She knows the history of Spa Aromatherapy and related to me that that outfit had less skilled management, and one particularly milquetoast customer who rolled over like a lapdog when approached by the Man.
She invited me to come see for myself, and I did last night (see review).

We talked also the other day.

I just read the article for the first time. A few things:
1. I know the person who wrote the article so I am glad I wasn’t one of the people who were questioned.
2. I did park at WaWa a few times and walk over so my vehicle wasn’t spotted in the lot.
3. I definitely busted the spa while it was being watched.
I will say that this has me rethinking local spa’s and just seeing independent providers. I have had a good run over the past 4 or so years so it is time to slow down a bit.

And a follow up on what MMS is saying about being watched. She is not there at that location so she has no idea. She is just a booker. We don’t even know if it is a woman. Unless somebody has physically met her. She is not like J from RBS.

Where does one find the independent provider?

I don't know anything about the independents but I do feel much safer at the one woman shops these days. They may not always provide FS but it can still be a very satisfying experience. Also, the TM is usually much better.

There is definitely more risk staying local. I know the guy who did the write up on a closed Newark spa a couple years ago. My next outing was going to be local. I’ve instead decided to go to Philly tomorrow and see where I end up.

Find an independent that is newbie friendly. Joy used to be but you would need to provide personal information. I am not sure if she is newbie friendly still. I know Amps and EPM do not count as references for Joy.

Thanks for the update. Probably easier said than done
