And the culprits ALWAYS seem to be from Queens.

more specifically, seems like 80-90 percent of the time they're from Flushing.

For those of you that can link:

Two women charged in Lindenhurst massage parlor sting

For the rest of you a snippet:



Is there something in the Asian culture that encourages women being prostitutes? Maybe in the Vietnam War that is how they connected with Americans and made money? It's almost always them in the massage parlors.
It must be fun for the cop to try to explain to his wife that he has to go undercover to these places to see if they're giving the happy endings.

It's not a big deal over there. It's like another boring day at the office here. The problem is, and which they just don't get, is that here, it's illegal.

The rest of us pay higher taxes because we have to supplement those that don't pay any.
Then why not just charge them with tax evasion?

I was wondering that too.
Some chick gets busted prostituting, she gets locked up and maybe pays some fines, and then that's it. How come Uncle Sam isn't going after these people for tax evasion. Obviously these broads aren't claiming this income on their returns

I've read a few things where they've gone after a few ring leaders where there were big dollars at stake, but I'm not aware of them pursuing the average every day prostitute.

Anyone who uses them should send them a 1099 at the end of the tax year, that will fix them

What category should they use to write it off as a business expense? "Client Entertainment?"
