Approved List

#21
One step closer to RICO liability.
Then what about the white list in ***? (which I can't figure out how to add someone). I am suggesting a no names but verifying handles, I think it's is more discrete since we are going to need less real identification. Do you really think that this is even in the same category as anything that qualifies in violating RICO?

It's unbelievable to me that people open themselves up to that kind of exposure to criminal liability. This is gonna break sometime, and then they'll wonder if it was worth it.

What about all the reviews then? they like confessionals for that particular member that they participated in this buisness, that is why we have handles not real names. If what you are writing is the case then we are all liable, ever single member on the board including yourself (well maybe not you since you don't review but I doubt that the authorities will care). Maybe I am stupid but what you are writing makes not sense to me. Will the feds go around every office in NYC and vicinity asking who Just Looking is? I don't see how a list of approved handles would be any different then anything else on this board.

This is just an idea I had, I don't need it at all for myself. I know how to and like to screen my potential clients from scratch and never rely on references. I am on the opposite end where I am the one verifying clients to other providers and I just thought it might be easier to pre approve them once instead of going back and forth with every provider who needs a reference.

You know there is always pros and cons to everything. In this business/hobby or whatever you wish to call it we all take a certian amount of risk. Yes a list like this might reduce some of the risk to the providers that advertise on this board. I do see the argument for the hobbist but I can say I fully agree with the risk assement. If we are talking on handles and some way of cross refeancing them in a place only assecible to advertisers than i thin the risk is minum to the hobbist and the benefit to the provider is increased. It may also help this board by attracting more advertisers. Again I guess it would be voluntary from the members to allow a lady to add you. But also keep in mind guys and gals all of our IP addresses are recorded in cyberspace and can always be traced back if someone really wanted to find out who all of us are....

Exactly, how badly do they want us? Are they going to go door to door in the vicinity of some members IP address asking hey do you happen to be wolf? we are not participating in kiddie porn or treason here. Writing about an experience that may or may not be factual with a consenting adult is not a crime. Vouching for someone I may or may not have met is also not a crime, I believe I have but unless there are witness to this alleged meeting who knows? There is not usable evidence unless we are caught at the scene of the crime.

How bad do they want me for that matter? I have no children, no property, rent in a crappy 5th floor walk up, no possesions worth anything and can barely keep my head above water. I am not some woman who made millions using credit cards for fraudulent reasons, crossing women over state lines, dealing with powerful men, ect. If I am that important and they want me that bad they can have me.

JL has taken what was a simple idea that only a few would care about into a federal case. To be honest I don't even care to know how a list of handles on a PMB could be more incriminating than everything else. I might not be a lawyer but know enough about the law and this buisness to speculate that it will be laughed out of court (if it even got that far).

Reviews are just writing, speech. Of no legal consequence whatsoever.

What you're proposing is not speech but action: a full-scale consipracy to commit prostitution, which if pressed could be said to encompass ALL board participants, even those who don't participate in it.

Ask TBD and his friends about that.

The point is, when the board becomes not a just a place to discuss and advertise prostitution services, but something that actively participates in their purchase and provision, its legal status changes bigtime.

Frankly, I worry a lot about the parties.

That about *** white list then? It was just an idea but I guess if what you write is true then it would not work.

Aren't you then worried with over 22,000 posts?
 
#35
If you mean because of the parties, I almost stopped posting when they started having them.

The posts themselves are just speech. They don't mean much (if anything) legally.
 
#36
(The point I'm trying to make is that it would be an awful lot of work to try to use posts as a means of identifying an individual lawbreaker. But if the board itself becomes a criminal enterprise, then it becomes an easy way to kill a whole lot of birds with a very few stones.)

And just to be even more boring than I've been already, add the implicit point that neither you nor a john can be (or at least is ever likely to be) convicted on the basis of reviews. They've got to catch us in the act. Whereas once the board becomes a criminal conspiracy, just participating in the board could possibly lead to potential problems.

If that is the case I think I have more to worry about since I am more than a handle, I can be easily found in the flesh. I always thought of the authorities as if they want me bad enough they can have me, I have enough to worry about working in this buisness then to speculate and obsess on what if scenarios

I agree that you have little more to worry about. OTOH, I'm sure there are many TBD participants who now wish they had thought a bit harder about the nature of their board participation.

Didn't the whole TBD thing come down to there wasn't enough of a case? People were exposed and humiliated, but I don't recall anyone other than the prostitutes who were hit with prostitution charges ever getting convicted. They didn't even get formerly charged did they?

Then again... that was bumblefuck Florida and NY is a different matter.
