High-end sex ring in Boston and D.C. areas was 'honeypot' scheme by Russia, China, South Korea or even Israel - to ensnare US officials, intelligence experts believe
daily mail ^

Intelligence experts are becoming increasingly convinced that six high end brothels in the suburbs of Boston and Washington, D.C. were set up by a foreign nation as an espionage 'honeytrap'.

They believe the brothels – allegedly masterminded by a 41-year-old South Korean woman – targeted politicians, high ranking government officials and defense contractors.

But the mystery is which country was behind the scheme. Russia, China, Korea itself, or even Israel are al seen as possibly being behind the scheme.

'Having the Koreans out front could have been a false flag to give China or another country plausible deniability if the plot unraveled,' a one-time CIA senior operations officer told DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview.

The brothels were raided in November and prosecutors said they were looking to charge 28 people in Massachusetts alone.

There was no evident motive to establish two cathouses in the greater Washington area, sources noted emphatically. None of the three defendants live anywhere near the capital and sex workers were flown in from Los Angeles or Las Vegas.

Han Lee, the alleged mastermind, Junmyung Lee, 30, and James Lee, 68 – all South Korean-born U.S. nationals – were charged in November with running the sex ring. The three Lees are not related.

Members of Congress, military officers, and national security contractors who 'possessed security clearances' were among the steady customers at the 'high-end brothels' run by the ring, prosecutors say.

The ring's clients, who paid rates of up to $600 an hour, included corporate executives, professors, lawyers, and scientists.

To entice customers, the Lees allegedly set up websites whose purported purpose was helping photographers find nude female models looking for work. Investigators believe the ring had made more than $1 million by the time it was busted.

we already know that Israel was involved in the whole Epstein Honeytrap, probably this one was unmasked by the mossad cause if they can't play, why should anyone else be able to?

I want to hear about the homo sex and prostitution rings being busted, cause we know a high percentage of our betters prefer that.

Looks like they’re only going after heterosexual men - no whore houses for the sexual weirdos.

Maybe the CIA set them up...

Doesn’t work on Bill Clinton. Nobody could fault him for his philandering. He’s married to “Hilla the Hun”. His words not mine.

When faggotry was discouraged and illegal in America, government employees and officials who were discovered to be faggots were removed from government because they were a blackmail threat.

We should be seeing a bunch of resignations of public and private employees and officials because everyone caught in the honeypot is a security risk and potential foreign agent.

Bill took the exact opposite tack. He said: I'm gonna screw everything and everybody. That way, absolutely no one will be surprised.

Are they f***ing serious? DC has the strongest population of perverts and adulterers outside of Hollywood. Not to mention all the out of toners there for conventions. Brothels would do a land office business. You’d need one cathouse just to service Congress and the Senate. Blackmail would only be a minor side venture.

There would be no problem if the brothels had sent their 10% to the big guy along with some palm greasing for Wray and his cronies.

There’s an old joke:

First they send a woman to your room.
If that doesn’t work, they send a man to your room.
If THAT doesn’t work, they send a goat to your room.
