Investigators said they found money orders in a Louis Vuitton shoebox, condoms and lubricants in bulk, an ill-gotten Corvette and "appointment books" at the Massachusetts apartments of two people believed to have run a high-end brothel in the Boston and D.C. areas
The sophisticated brothel network allegedly operating in the Boston and Washington, D.C., areas until it was busted this month likely generated upwards of $1 million in just a few years for the woman accused of running it and a co-defendant, according to a new federal court filing.
Federal prosecutors shared that and other details about the alleged prostitution ring's inner workings, including house rules for the sex workers and pictures of the ledgers that tracked the work, in a document as they moved to keep Han Lee and Junmyung Lee detained before trial. The pair are a risk of leaving the country, prosecutors said, and both agreed to be detained at a hearing in Worcester on Wednesday afternoon.
The Massachusetts residents -- Han lives in Cambridge and Junmyung in Dedham -- have been charged with a third person, James Lee, of Torrance, California, with violating federal sex trafficking law for allegedly running a secret and exclusive brothel that functioned as a kind of club, offering clients menus of women and services for meet-ups at rented luxury apartments in Cambridge and Watertown, Massachusetts, as well as northern Virginia.
Authorities have yet to name any of the clients, though U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts Joshua Levy has said they included politicians, professors, military officers and pharmaceutical executives, among others.

The sophisticated brothel network
Sounds just like a D.C. operation
The media will continue to tease us with the existence of this brothel, but with equal glee refuse to disclose who went there.
Want to bet that the names won’t leak out until AFTER the 2024 election?
Name names damn it!
Each guy is compromised, in terms of security clearances. But I doubt if a single one loses his clearance.
Well, we know for a fact none of Trump’s family was involved.
True. That would have been the headline!
A million in a few years?
Not a lot of money at all.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
upwards of $1 million in just a few years doesn’t sound like a whole lotta money considering the names & data they collected.
low budget operation?
I really don’t want to hear another word of this until they start to name names, which, other than a few minor players, they probably won’t.
Just like Epstein, we will never hear a word on the customer side of this. Hard to run a prostitution or child sex operation without customers. No customers = no crime. How can people convicted of these crimes without customers. Make the prosecutions bring in the customers to provide evidence. Otherwise people just gave them $ because they like them.
We’re still waiting to find out which Senators and Reps benefited from the congressional slush fund that was used to buy the silence of sexual abuse victims. We found out about that years ago.
