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.

>>Every single person in the article is Chinese,

“Lee” is a common Korean surname shared by over 14% of South Korean.

Will we be banned from social media if we suggest someone who has undue control over the U.S. Government and is not one of the list of countries, that are considered acceptable to hate, was using the prostitution ring for intelligence gathering?

Yes.

It is o.k. to hate your own government.
It is o.k. to hate the government of China.
It is o.k. to hate the government of Russia.

But if you say anything bad about the government of Israel, you are a despicable human being who has forfeited the right to use social media.

I know this because the media tells me so.

As the saying goes, you can't throw a rock in Korea without hitting a Lee, Park, or Kim.

They always warned us about those “honeypot” spies. They say that in post coital bliss people spill important secrets they have been entrusted with.
But it never worked for me on foreign women. I’d really give it to them good and then I’d very carefully listen.

But they never told me a single thing.

I suspect Mossad and the CIA working together.

I read recently that the staffer from Cardins office whose gay sex tape in the Senate meeting room was leaked, had recently shouted “Free Palestine” at an event held by some Republican Senator or Rep.

Can’t let anyone you have blackmail on get away with that now can we?

I believe it.

What better way to compromise them and be able to blackmail them?

I’m think that it doesn’t have to be some foreign government exerting control over the U.S. Federal Government. Someone is running the country and it is not Joe Biden.

We don’t know who that someone is but we do know who their minions are: the Democrats, the media, ...

It’s nice to know that even though men are shortchanged in this feminized, man hating country, they still have enough money for this.
