I believe him, this is just too weird not to be true.
His M.O. is intriguing:

“Roseman said the site had three levels: Probation, verified and trust.
‘In order to get off probation you had to sleep with one of the prostitutes on the website and she in turn would tell the moderator (Flory) what acts occurred, how much they paid and any comments,” he said. “That opened you up to verified status. Once you got into verified status that opened you up to different girls available. Then, some would e-mail the moderator, ‘This is the act, this is how much he paid, these are my comments about it.’
After so many of those, Roseman said, members moved into trusted status, which afforded access to features such as training videos on what do if you got caught by police. Members who reached the trusted level also could rate prostitutes. “

So the whole point of this elaborate system was to screen johns to make sure they behaved themselves if they wanted to gain trusted status and access.
Kind of noble when you look at it that way. The article implies that he took very little money from the hookers.
Noble?
Sounds like he was a voyeur.
