FBI shuts down myredbook

Pimping principally consists of receiving, either directly or indirectly, a prostitute’s earnings.

No force is needed, the husband of an escort who shares in her money, or she pays for food, housing etc makes husband a pimp of husband.

If pimp forces gal to a place or to go somewhere it is called kidnapping. We don't need separate sexwork laws just use kidnapping.

In a Phoenix case of a guy robbing 12 escorts and almost choking them to death told one to go into another bedroom against her will. That was charged as kidnapping. Fortunately he now serves 100+ yrs in prison as I worked with police and escorts came forward.

Look out Target and Victoria's Secret! You are now declared pimps!

Yes we are! MRB was huge in this area. I could find 3-4 pages of new listings every day, and I was not even in a heavily populated metropolitan area.

People are freaking out over here(including myself). I just don't know were to go now? There is a chain reaction happening: Women are not answering their phones because most were outcall. Without a good way to advertise there is no way to cover the overhead cost of hotel rooms. Many have quit, are waiting or just paralyzed at the moment(traveling women omg).

There are a whole lot of MRB "refugees" out there wandering with no direction, confused and angry at the loss of a great community. I am one of them...hello this is my first post here.

I really wish this site would implement https security. It doesn't prevent everything, but it makes snooping a lot harder.

[Out_of_Bounds]

I see some vacations for some people here in the near future.

But, it's nice to see our federal tax dollars put to some good use for once.

This gets brought up frequently about Eccie, and the answer is HTTPS is useless on this type of forum.

The forum is open, you do not need to log-in to view contents of the forum. You only have to log-in/have an account to post a comment or thread or ad, etc.

AGAIN, HTTPS is useless and does not fit this type of forum/BB system as it is designed and maintained by the owners.


Nobody snoops on this site, people lurk on this type of site.

Boy, that statement takes the cake.

Without HTTPS, you can be spied upon by your ISP, and by anyone anywhere in the net in the path between you and ASPD's servers. If you're using WiFi, you can be spied upon by bogus WiFi hotspots, which has happened quite a few times. There have even been cases where third party hackers have managed to play games remotely with routing at network service and send traffic through servers in remote countries.

Even if you can't "insert" yourself into the network, if you're using an open WiFi hotspot, anyone within range can passively monitor your traffic with easily available free software.

Any of these people can see your password, userid, see any PM's as you read or write them, see which posts you're reading, etc.

You're vulnerable to people who are out to get you in particular, or to people who are after eccie in particular.

There are more and more cases of criminals who monitor traffic in general looking for information to steal. They're usually after things like bank account information, but they're improving their processes and finding more and more information to use in nefarious ways all the time.

It may not really be that big of a risk in this particular case, but it is real, and it does happen.

Yeah, you sure know a lot about law enforcement, doncha partner! Lol. I love it when ex-cops join in on these discussions.

I don't follow your LE reference, but whatever you call them, pimps in the sense most people think of them, are the lowest lifeforms on the planet.

Ah ..... hope you like the cake. Take off the tinfoil for a bit and stop the fear-mongering as it pertains to this world of ours.

For hobbiests, this site has plenty of Plausible Deniability. This is a fantasy site, everyone uses a fake name, and if one has their Tech/comm set up correctly it stays plenty safe.

People need to start with their own Tech/Comm security. Do your Eccie thing, then shut the browser and move on. Pretty simple.

Does not bother me one bit if the Eastern European mob or local LE hacks my Eccie account. Maybe they can get me some better rates with ladies.

HTTPS- absolutely has it's place but the owners have reviewed the situation do not see that it is necessary. And I have no problem with their choice.

Don't get me wrong, in my civie life, I am a tight MoFo when it comes to Tech security. But not having it on Eccie does not get my panties in a wad.

PS- you did a great job explaining TOR on the Main forum.
