Billionaire John W. Childs Charged With Involvement In Florida Prostitution
New York Post ^ | February 23, 2019 | Amanda Woods

Posted on 02/23/2019 5:24:13 PM PST by CaliforniaCraftBeer

Finance titan John Havens, Citigroup Inc.’s former president and chief operating officer, was also charged in connection with the sting, cops said. “We are working in conjunction with numerous jurisdictions and local agencies to try to arrest all subjects we have active charges on,” Vero Beach Police Public information Officer Bradley Kmetz told Bloomberg. “We encourage people who have active arrest warrants to turn themselves in,” he said.

Good lord, try to keep up. Those side arrangements you speak of are routinely turning into “me too” gold diggers.
Some 23 year Chinese girl wouldn’t know Kraft or Childs from any other geezer.

And the two women arrested, the mama-sans, they probably aren’t there at the door vetting everyone. Probably the available chick meets whoever comes in the door.
It’s a pretty safe system unless cops hide a camera in
the room.

A “side arrangement” in this modern era with some pro whore who specializes in rich men is crazy. Especially since she will know who he is.

See also... Jeff Bezos. He had a side arrangement.

You are naive if it doesn’t strike you that some - perhaps many - of these setups may be espionage operations of one sort or another; and a ‘billionaire’, if not cognizant of that possibility, is just plain stupid or senile.

“If these guys had to go to old Chinese women in a cheap massage parlor,”

The old women own them. They hire young recent arrivals. And it’s usually tough for cops to interview them with language barriers, and questionable IDs, and the fact that they mostly look alike.

Ask a cop if you know one.

Probably if they were willing to pay more they could find a “therapist” that would give them the same thing and it would be legal.

Meh...Slavery? That’s a bit dramatic and I know it’s the new cause of the era that every “nymph du prarie” is a slave. But it’s basically indentured servitude to pay off your entry fee. And its a binary choice. Life in China or Jupiter beach Florida.

All you blue hairs and college girls clutching your pearls over “slavery” might want to give it a rest unless you are also willing to take a good hard look at who is working in the kitchen at your fave restaurants, and how long they have been agreed to work in exchange for the 20k it took to get smuggled into America.

As for me, Id take the quiet environment, soft music, air conditioning and and decent pay of a beach town massage parlor over scrubbing pots in the steamy kitchen of a Chinese restaurant kitchen ANY day.

I don’t believe that human well-being and profit are mutually exclusive. But not many people are really interested in the right or logical thing to do these days, with regard to human well-being; just in maximum profit.

JT1630 you've made me realize why there's a global fight to control who owns and distributes aborted unborn organs, body parts, and blood. THIS subject is its' own topic for debate on another day(s) and future FReep thread(s).

I’ll be polite. Which one of us is more likely to be naive on this topic? It’s you. And my information may not be so accurate because of what you’ll likely suppose.
And now we are onto espionage and national security risks I see.

The Chicoms wanting to get their hands on the New England Patriots playbook? Find the best early bird specials?

If you wanna talk national security, tell me about the 100 million dollar plus sex industry in DC and how that city has 2.8 % trannies compared to .75% in California.
I notice how when there is a prostitution ring busted there, the list is held a deep secret, and the madame is quickly suicided.

Going after Trump Supporters - - prostitution sting?

https://www.tcpalm.com/story/news/crime/indian-river-county/2019/02/22/billionaire-john-childs-charged-florida-human-trafficking-prostitution-ring/2953948002/

from link:

Childs, who lives seasonally in Indian River Shores, is wanted on a solicitation of prostitution charge, according to a warrant for his arrest. He has not been arrested.

Childs owns J.W. Childs Associates, a private equity firm based in Massachusetts.

He’s a prominent donor to several Republican politicians and groups, including former U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan, Club for Growth and 2012 presidential candidate Mitt Romney.

He donated about $4.3 million to Republican candidates and PACs last cycle, according to a review of federal campaign finance records.

I have a niece who has lived in Fort Pierce Florida practically all of her life.

She is THE most straight laced person I have ever known. I love her. She is still shocked if someone says the word “DAMN.”

I cannot even IMAGINE what she is thinking since Vero Beach is the beach that Fort Pierce residents visit.

I wish the world would have her wholesomeness and loveable nature.

I hate myself, but, I cannot wait to talk to her in the morning about all the “action” at Vero Beach.

The poor thing will be beside herself. But, I hope she is still able to see the humor in the proximity, NOT in the actions of some supposedly respectful people.

Local bust. Not exactly young hotties., all 40-50 years old. The madams were similiary aged.Oddly enough, I can’t see where anyone, madams or hookers, are deported, . The drill seems to be jail, fine, catch, release.

Well I guess Bill Maher can take his hand out of his underwear and cool down because the other “big name” isn’t Trump.

From link:

His largest donation, $250,000, went to America First Action, a pro-Donald Trump super PAC. Senate Conservative Action, Freedom Partners Action Fund and the National Republican Senate Committee all received large contributions over the past two years.

Other large contributions have gone to Sen. Mike Braun of Indiana, Sen. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee and Rep. Mimi Walters of California.

He also gave $600,000 to Gov. Ron DeSantis’ gubernatorial campaign last year.

Interesting that this went down after Jeffrey Epstein’s plea deal went south.

I just know that there are plenty of ways a billionaire can become a target. If I were one, a cheap massage parlor is the kind of place/situation I’d definitely stay away from.
