Hello Everybody,

I have already written something like this before i think but this time its a bit different although maybe along the same lines.

I work from a property that has a few girls working from although not on the same days. We all pay rent to the person who owns/runs the property although she is never seen as hardly ever comes to the property only to collect the rent which is left in a certain place.

Now this place has been raided once by the police a few years ago. I am just worried it may happen again one day and really wonder where i stand. I know it is not illegal to do what i am doing its just i have always worked from either my own property or hotels etc. I have never worked from somewhere that is ran by somebody else.

Now the lady who runs the place swears that if the police ever did raid again everything would be OK as she is completely legal. Is this possible, to run a legal brothel or work house as i suppose that is really what it is as it is not used for anything else, ie nobody actually lives there.

Any thoughts on this would be good.

Thanks.

Love N' Hugz.

Hi,

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly, that's what i thought, a brothel is a brothel, and she was trying to make me manager! Well that takes most of the heat off her.

She only boasts about it because she pays tax on it but obviously its not down as a brothel i wonder what she says it is? To her accountant anyway?

It has been open for a very long time as in properly 20 years that's what she says and it was the first place that i ever started at when i first started and i was 17, I'm now 29. Although i didn't know her i got the job through somebody else.

Please please please never have any involvement in running the place as you would get busted big time.

Involvement can mean your name on a lease
or gas bill, organising rotas,
paying the cleaner
or even supplying the condoms!

If you stay there or go anywhere else
At most, do your clients, pay for the room and,
er,
that's about it.

Either she is just getting lazy or wants someone else to lay the blame on when things go wrong 

The second one! I've worked for lots of lazy bosses over the years, I've never been encouraged to pay company money into my personal bank account though.......

I think the idea was that xxxtinyxxx would be paying the money into Ms Brothel-owner's account, not xxxtinyxxx's, but even without that, you're being asked to step right into the path of any shit that may start flying.

If it has survived when most others have been closed, then something interesting is happening. She's kept to the local unwritten rules, and/or someone's getting a cut, and/or someone's a client, or... (If you know of many more, then closing them isn't a priority for the police: in South Kensington they said their target was closing one a quarter - given that there were a year's supply on the road I worked at alone, you can see how low a priority closing all of them was.)

But yes, the response to 'Please run this brothel, don't worry it's legal, honest' is either 'No' and 'What's in it for me?', depending on how much risk you want to take... and you already know the answer to that.

She tried to have me bank the 'rent' into her bank [...]

I'm really bad at understanding what money laundering is, but... isn't that a bit like it? Getting someone to take your illegally-earned funds so that it gets sort-of 'lost' in the system and can't be traced by those pesky officials who seem to think you should stop committing crimes? (This madam, obviously - not you, tiny!)

My understanding is that if the Madam asked Tiny to pay the rent into HER OWN bank then got her to transfer the funds to the Madam's *hush hush* account, then THAT is laundering (which I think that's what you thought was being asked?)....whereas the Madam - if I understood the post correctly - asked Tiny to pay the rent into THE MADAM'S bank account, basically doing the Madam's banking for her.

Looks like the Madam was trying to PERSUADE Tiny to be the manager, which would put Tiny into a position of "controlling for gain" and "maid" and "brothel owner" and all the things that's illegal, so that if and when the place got busted, the Madam could turn round and say "Moi?? I had no idea, I was just letting Tiny rent the place from me"...

She defo has somebody in her pocket because i cannot understand, when the place was raided there was a girl in there with a client. The girl was taken to the police station and interviewed. The madam was also interviewed. She walked. Now i know of another brothel that was raided and the madam was JAILED for keeping house...

The more i am thinking about my situation the more scared i am becoming. I'm better to cut my losses. The only thing is she is also my friend. But i suppose, how can she be my friend...You should hear the things i have been told that she has said about me. And the person who told me doesn't even know her. She knows her friend...Who needs enemies?....

Ive been wanting to dwindle her out for a while, i am only friends with her really because of the job...I wish i could put everything on here i have been through with this place butprob not a good idea...Lol VO...It will prob be me sending her one...
