LOL. Yes, all the while claiming to be the living persona of the law.

Does anyone have any additional information about how the ring initially got broken up?

One report mentioned that the Feds had an "insider" working as a call girl.

Does this mean that one of the call girls (who was already working there) brokered a deal with the Feds, or did some agent actually have to be a plant? Because that is just ick, and I can't imagine that they would actually have to do that. But... can't imagine a call girl just up and going to the Feds either.

On another note, I agree that it is awful that they put the poor wives up there. I turned to my husband and told him that he would be on his own.

Co-sign!!

And re: the break-up of the ring, I don't think too many details have emerged yet, but my guess is more that they got a current escort to "turn" rather than planting a fed that had to go do... whatever she might have to do... to break the case. I would think a male fed would have gone in undercover and busted one of the escorts then got her to cooperate to lessen her punishment (that's what all the tv shows do, so I'm sure that's right ). But I'm sure we'll get all the dirty little details over time.

His poor, poor little girls. As though the teenage years aren't already difficult enough, now they get to go to school and hear about their whoring Dad.

I am waiting for the other 14 shoes to drop.
While it would seems as if they are not "public officials" I do have to wonder if any CEO's, CFO's. COO's et al are on the list.
