Report: FBI Raid of David Copperfield's Warehouse May Involve His Pick-Up Techniques
Fox News ^ | 10-24-07

Posted on 10/24/2007 10:46:31 AM PDT by yankeesdoodle

David Copperfield designed part of his show around "a system for picking up women," which may explain the FBI's interest in his camera system and hard drive, sources told TMZ.

Last week, the FBI raided Copperfield's Las Vegas warehouse and seized digital camera equipment and a hard drive to a computer after a Seattle woman accused him of sexually assaulting her in the Bahamas.

During his show, Copperfield goes into the audience and chooses women to come on stage. If he likes a woman, he'll use code words with assistants like "mama" and "secrecy," TMZ reported.

The assistants mark the women on a map of the inside of the Hollywood Theater at MGM Grand. After the show, the women are brought backstage, and told that Copperfield may use them in his show when he comes to their hometown.

They are then photographed with a digital camera, asked questions like, "What is your favorite men's cologne?" and "Where do you like to vacation?"

Oh yes, the Las Vegas slogan. Who dreamed that one up?

“I just killed a preteen tranny runaway, and stuffed her/him into my trunk!”

Go back and research Don Johnson and his Germany trip from five years ago (he was caught with a billion dollars in his car...various banking notes, promisary notes, and bonds...which the Germans copied and sent to the IRS...and Don had alot of explaining to do later with his “clients” and the IRS).

Probably would have been more helpful if you'd mentioned the follow-up to the "billion dollars in the car" story regarding Johnson:
It turns out Don Johnson was telling the truth: The actor had nothing to do with Swiss financial documents detailing $8 billion in transactions

I don't know, I remember asking Clark Howard, "whats with Boortz" one time and he replied, never seen him up close before have you? If he is up close and can see those around him and that he is speaking too, if they are strangers, he is pretty quite and reserved. Shocked aren't you.

Clark however is as dorky in person as he is on the radio.

>Most entertainers ... “turn on” when getting on the stage

"DAVID Lee Roth had such an unquenchable thirst for sex during his Van Halen days that he invented an ingenious way to score at the band's concerts - doling out generous cash rewards to staffers who supplied him with the hottest girls, according to a new, unauthorized bio of the platinum-selling band.

"The spandex-clad rocker developed a "streamlined" system of "ordering sex at shows" by distributing laminated backstage passes to the security staff - each marked with [the staffer's] initials," writes Ian Christe in "Everybody Wants Some: The Van Halen Saga," out in August from Wiley.

"Then, from the stage, [Roth would call] out, 'Blonde, pink top, sector A-4,' pointing out the girls he wanted to see after the show. Whatever crew member's name Dave saw flapping around the girl's neck backstage at the end of the night would get a $100 bonus at breakfast the next morning. As far as intimacy went, it was a little like the invention of the drive-through window at McDonald's, but the morale of tour staff remained high. ..."

WHY ROCKER NEVER STRUCK OUT

Apparently, the FBI are not the only ones interested in Copperfields hard drive.

After the Germans sent the entire package of copies to the IRS...there was apparently a nice long meeting once Don Johnson came back into the US. The Germans were absolutely correct...nothing illegal had occurred within German laws and they were free to go. But all the copies that were made of the documents...went to IRS. The Germans didn’t absolve Don of anything related to IRS. I’m guessing that Don gave a vast amount of information over to the government...to protect himself...and they worded their “cleansing” of Don...to make him appear pure. Various German accountants laughed about the episode afterwards because they knew precisely what he was helping to accomplish. They knew that no customs guys at the airports in Germany ever pay attention to private jets and the VIPs simply off-load and jump in the car to leave the airport.

There are various 3rd-rate stars that transit Germany all the time...in private jets...are simply note carriers that swoop into Switzerland, drop the notes off at the banks, and collect a tidy fee which pays for a lifestyle that a 3rd rate actor can’t afford.

Explain all that to me the Don Johnson thing. I never did understand what he was doing. I know he said he was carrying money for a friend but never understood what was really going on. “Splain it”!!
