Tech workers involved in bust of prostitution network

Jul 26, 2017 22 Comments

Techies never learn.

"Microsoft and Amazon managers were among those arrested in The Review Board case."

"One customer, a software-development director for Amazon, even helped construct and maintain prostitution-related websites."

"Among the emails seized when the websites were taken down by law enforcement in January 2016 were hundreds of pieces of identification submitted with the customers’ first request for a “date.” These included photographs of employee badges from Microsoft, Amazon and Boeing…"

"Sumit Virmani, 42, director of World Wide Health for Microsoft, had a “date” that morning with “Raina” at the BellCentre Apartments in Bellevue, according to charging documents."

      But if it becomes legal then these pros can come out in the open and complain about any such issues. They can organize and form unions for protection and much more.

      if that is the case, the total of those climbing the career ladder in Nevada are probably a good representation of the % of the US prostitute population that truly considers it their life's calling. Still leaves a shit ton of true victims whose damage is not immaterially funded by that sentiment and paychecks of educated tech workers who should know better.

  • they feel so proud like they busted a large terrorist group, wtf

    this should be legal like in many many other countries, how can morons like these laugh at islam hijab? this is equally savage law

    police resources wasted, they better spend people's time chasing organized crime, robberies etc

      these sites always crawl back online after bust, the fundamental human nature is men are willing to go through all kinds of extreme to motivate women to give him her body, and a lot of women in need of money will do it

      @xeRB55 I'm very concerned that you're going to have a hard time here.

      "look at the sex hungry, drug addict, animals infuriated on why the website was shut down."

      This anger of yours feels like it's going to be unleashed at the mall one day while you curse the over sexualized US culture.
