3 arrested in Mass., Va. brothel bust, but who were the clients?
The sex trafficking arrests in Massachusetts over an alleged high-end brothel operating out of luxury apartments leave a major question unanswered — who were the elected officials, military members, doctors and other people that federal prosecutors said were using the illegal service?

The sophisticated brothel network allegedly operating in the Boston and Washington, D.C., areas that was announced in a bombshell news conference on Wednesday served people from politicians to professors, federal prosecutors said.
But who those sex buyers were remained a mystery on Thursday. Federal authorities were mum on the subject at the news conference, saying that any arrests for the purchase of sex would happen at the state level — the three people charged this week are accused of violating federal sex trafficking law.
The brothel, "built on secrecy and exclusivity," functioned as a kind of club, offering clients menus of women, predominantly Asian, and services for meet-ups at rented luxury apartments in Cambridge and Watertown, Mass., as well as northern Virginia, acting U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts Joshua Levy announced. The high-profile customers paid a membership fee and submitted documents, including driver's license photos, to be verified for the chance to pay up to $600 an hour for sex, under the guise of modeling shoots.

- Investigators believe a network of high-end brothels operating in the Boston and D.C. areas was a honey trap to ensnare politicians and government officials
- But whether the plot was intended to aid Russia, China, South Korea – or even Israel – remains to be determined
- Clients, believed to include members of Congress, military officers, and national security contractors, have not yet been unmasked and charged
Intelligence experts are becoming increasingly convinced that six high end brothels in the suburbs of Boston and Washington, D.C. were set up by a foreign nation as an espionage 'honeytrap'.
They believe the brothels – allegedly masterminded by a 41-year-old South Korean woman – targeted politicians, high ranking government officials and defense contractors.
But the mystery is which country was behind the scheme. Russia, China, Korea itself, or even Israel are al seen as possibly being behind the scheme.
'Having the Koreans out front could have been a false flag to give China or another country plausible deniability if the plot unraveled,' a one-time CIA senior operations officer told DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview.
I was not involved. Don't @ me......And that's exactly what everyone who was involved said.
Sigh.....
