There were no clients. High end prostitution rings never have clients. It is a unique business model.

Eight of ten members and associates of the Gambino crime family stayed in custody after pleading not guilty on racketeering charges Wednesday
Salvatore DiLorenzo was the only one of the mobsters allowed to walk free on Wednesday night
Four were remanded in jail due to being seen as a risk by the state, with four others having made bond but the DOJ attempting to keep them in custody
The Gambino men, from Manhattan, Staten Island, the Bronx, New Jersey, and Long Island, have allegedly been wreaking havoc in New York for the past 27 years.
Kyle Johnson, 46, known as 'Twin,' and Angelo Gradilone, 57, known as 'Fifi,' Diego 'Danny' Tantillo, and the alleged captain of the Gambino crime ring - 52-year-old Joseph Lanni - were all remanded in jail with no possibility of bond.
Lanni's wife burst out crying when her husband - known by nicknames 'Joe Brooklyn,' and 'Mommino' - was remanded. He blew her a kiss from behind the bench.
US-based Sicilian Mafia members Vito Rappa, 46, and Francesco Vicari, 46 - who is known as 'Uncle Ciccio' - as well as Robert Brooke and Vincent Minsquero, 36, known as 'Vinny Slick' were granted release on $1million bond but stayed for 24 hours so the government can appeal.
They will see their immediate fates determined at a hearing scheduled for Thursday afternoon.
A scathing 16-count federal indictment and detention document has now laid bare the violent extortions, assaults, arson, and racketeering conspiracies the alleged mobsters undertook - ahead of their arraignment in Brooklyn Federal Court today.
The infamous Italian-American crime syndicate made up one of the 'Five Families' known for their racketeering, gambling and loansharking. The defendants now variously face maximum sentences between 20 and 180 years' imprisonment.
The 'Gambino 10' takedown was made possible by the coordinated work between the FBI, NYPD, and Italian law enforcement.
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] A trans-identifying biological male who was previously sentenced to two years in juvenile detention for sexually abusing a 10-year-old girl has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for bashing his friend to death with a rock.
James Tubbs, who goes by "Hannah," had been charged with first-degree murder, threatening a witness, robbery, and assault, and pleaded guilty to manslaughter and lesser charges as part of a plea deal, according to Reduxx.
The incident took place in Kern County, Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, in April 2019. Tubbs and the victim, 22-year-old Michael Clark, had been members of a "survivalist transient group" camping together in Lake Isabella.
Tubbs, 26, was charged in May 2019 and held in a male prison on $1 million bond. Clark's body was recovered from the Kern River three months later.
At the time, Tubbs claimed he had multiple personalities, one of which was prone to committing crimes that he could not remember afterward. He blamed that personality for causing him to kill Clark. Another personality Tubbs dubbed as "transgender-me."
Tubbs had previously boasted about the fact that he was tried as a juvenile for the aforementioned sexual assault and held in a female detention center for minors, noting that although he was arrested while in his twenties, the offense took place just a few days before his eighteenth birthday.
"Don't worry about it," he told his father. "It's a strike, but ... I'm [going to] plead out to them and then plead guilty. They're going to stick me on probation and it's going to be dropped. It's going to be done, done. I won't have to register."
Tubbs was not required to register as a sex offender after serving his two years.
As Reduxx reports, Tubbs was convicted in connection with other instances of sexual abuse of children. He had also been sentenced to four years for attacking a man with a knife and convicted twice of aggravated battery.
In much of the media coverage of Tubbs' sentencing, he is referred to with female pronouns. While California requires inmates to be housed according to their gender identity, it has not yet been confirmed which prison he will end up in. It has been reported that he only began identifying as such after being convicted of sexual assault.

And you have time and again we're told that trans people don't have mental health issues. I break them down into two categories scam artist or mentally ill. There's probably crossover between those two categories.

It's a small plant set up on about 5 acres on a county road in basically the middle of nowhere. Anybody who described it as "a large fire" has been sniffing the fumes.
How 'middle of nowhere'? The local school district (Goodrich) loaded all the kids, K-12th grade, on three school busses and evacuated. Three school busses. Everybody.
It's about 10 miles from me. Got to see the plume when grocery shopping yesterday.

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Seven Nashville police officers have been placed on administrative leave amid an investigation into how the 'manifesto' of school shooter Audrey Hale leaked online.
Nashville Police Department told WSMV that the officers were suspended after a probe into how three pages of notes written by Hale before she opened fire at The Covenant School in March.
She fatally shot three nine-year-olds and three teachers before being shot dead by police.
The manifesto had been shrouded in secrecy since the shooting, until they were leaked on Monday by controversial podcast host Steven Crowder, who claimed his reporters obtained it from a detective on the scene.
Police sources told Fox 17 that the documents were authentic, and purport to show Hale's plan to target 'white privileged' 'cr*****s' and 'f****ts' before killing herself.
#6
Stephen Crowder says they didn't even get the source when they sent those folks home. Of course that might be part of the deception to protect his sources.
#7
Sounds like they called in everyone who was on scene and not a guaranteed controlled asset as punishment, and potentially preventing further leaks.
If you look at her handwriting, a self described artist mind you, it is loopy and childlike. What they really don't want is some chick totally on her meds yelling about murdering children. It may even remind people of the stories of the Uvalde murderer's supposed trannyfestos.
[FoxNews] The US has hundreds of underground missiles in states like Nebraska, Colorado, North Dakota, Montana and Wyoming.
The Air Force's vast fields of underground nuclear missile silos are rarely disturbed by more than the occasional wandering cow or floating spy balloon. But the service is now asking Congress to help with another unexpected danger: towering wind turbines, which are growing in number and size and are edging closer to the sites each year.
The silos share space on vast private farmlands with the turbines. Whereas the nuclear launch sites are almost undetectable — just small, rectangular plots of land marked only by antennae, a chain-link fence and a flat 110,000-ton concrete silo blast door — the turbines are hundreds of feet high, with long, sweeping blades that have parts so large and long they dwarf the 18-wheeler flatbed trucks that transport them to new sites.
As nearby populations have grown, so have energy needs, and so have the number and size of the turbines. It's a boon for farmers and landowners, who can lease space on their lands to support both the military needs and wind power companies.
But the growth is making it dangerous for military helicopter crews. When an alarm triggers at a site, the UH-1 Huey crews fly in low and fast, often with security teams on board.
"When you think about a wind turbine, and even fields of wind turbines, they’ll stretch for miles," said Staff Sgt. Chase Rose, a UH-1 Huey flight engineer at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana. "They’re monstrous, and then you have gigantic blades spinning on them as well. Not only is that a physical obstacle, but those turbines, they create the hazards like turbulence as well. That can be really dangerous for us to fly into. So it’s a very complex situation, when you have to deal with those."
So the Air Force is asking Congress to pass legislation to create a 2-nautical-mile buffer zone around each site. The legislation has the support of wind energy advocates, but they caution against a one-size-fits-all approach. There are hundreds of underground silos spread across the U.S., in Nebraska, Colorado, North Dakota, Montana and Wyoming.
"The wind industry recognizes the nuclear missile silo mission is unique," said Jason Ryan, a spokesman for the American Clean Power Association, which worked with the Air Force and lawmakers on drafting language for a buffer zone. "However, one-size-fits-all setbacks do not make sense for other (Department of Defense) missions or assets as site-specific and mission-specific evaluations are necessary to ensure military readiness."
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] Over the past few months, a growing number of Burger King locations in the United States have closed their doors due to poor performance.
The fast food giant's parent company, Restaurant Brands International, announced earlier this year that it planned on shutting down between 300 and 400 shops that it deemed "unviable"
As Business Insider reports, 26 Michigan locations were closed in March, with a further 27 in other states such as Utah and Minnesota following suit in April.
The most recent set of six store closures will impact Florida, New York, and Nebraska, where some restaurants have been open for over 40 years. In the Empire state, at least one of the locations is expected to be taken over by direct competitor McDonald's.
In 2022, Burger King executives announced a $400 million "Reclaim the Flame" plan in an effort to keep up with other chains that were continuously outperforming them.
The goal was to improve successful locations and close those that were not doing as well, and as CNBC reports, data from the company appears to show that it's having an effect. During the latest earnings call, it was revealed that same-store sales grew 7.2 percent over last year, with 2.8 percent fewer locations.
"Back in the last few quarters, we had been behind the industry in terms of our same-store traffic," Restaurant Brands CEO Josh Kobza explained, "and that's been progressively getting better every quarter since last year."
He went on to say it was a "big milestone" for Burger King to go from where it was in 2022 to "flat traffic."
"Over the past few quarters, we prioritized the most distressed situations, closing unviable restaurants and cleaning up a number of portfolios," CFO Matthew Dunningan added.
Restaurant Brands has indicated that it will have most of its permanent closures finalized by the end of 2023.
According to the Motley Fool, Burger King had 7,105 locations in the US as of 2021.

If you have ever walked into an "unviable" BK or other fast-food restaurant, you probably left without buying anything but also no longer hungry.

Maybe IF BK brought back REAL Whoppers and the real beef they originally used. Not the mystery meat crap they serve now.
Maybe, just maybe we'd try BK again, after writing them off years ago.
BTW: Been over 2 years since we tried the $1+ Mikey D's even smaller burger.

I've never understood why the kitchen is arranged where we can WATCH them remove the burger patty from a bin and stick it in the microwave? They clearly aren't "fresh" like Wendys and Whataburger. Why would ANY Burger King location be "viable"?
#8
The Michigan locations that closed were franchise locations, not company shops. There is a lawsuit over money owed by the franchisee to BK. via the Detroit Free Press

Always been 'hit or miss' - sometimes quite good, often inedible. Better than McD's, which except for breakfast is consistently barely edible. Haven't been to either in 20 years.

My brother works in the Lidar Industry. It's like a radar they use in driver-less vehicles. Far better than using cameras because the cameras don't get fogged up or blocked by mud or whatever. Every car that has self-driving is all in on Lidar, except for Musk who is fanatically opposed to it for some reason.
I've also heard from a different source that the Tesla system will cut off auto-pilot right before a crash so that the 'black box' will show it was under driver control.
If these stories are true. If. Musk will be in prison in a few years.
