D.C. Madam - OWNED!

[Razorguns]

She thought she could be a bad-ass by scaring everyone by threatening to release the list to media outlets.

Hoping a huge scandal would scare everyone - and she could use those funds to pay for her lawyers.

Politicians told her to FO. Media outlets told her to FO. No scandal ever got created.

And today she got convicted and is going to prison. And she still has to pay her lawyers.

OOOWWWNNNNNNEEEEEED!!!!!!

A federal jury convicted a woman Tuesday of running a prostitution service that catered to members of Washington's political elite.

Deborah Jeane Palfrey will remain free on bail until her sentencing on July 24.

She had repeatedly denied that the escort service engaged in prostitution, saying that if any of the women engaged in sex acts for money, they did so without her knowledge.

Palfrey caused a sensation last year when she announced that to raise money for her defense, she intended to sell her phone records to any news outlet willing to pay. Palfrey said her defunct business, Pamela Martin & Associates, was "a legal, high-end erotic fantasy service" that serviced elite clients.

Im not sure her going to prison is a good thing.. I have no idea why its anyones fucking business what consenting adults do behind closed doors in regards to sex..

and I certainly dont think tying up a prison cell for a madame is a good idea when we are letting felons go in Cali because of overpopulation.

It is when you do something illegal - that others aren't allowed to do - and then you hide the money and pretend you know nothing about it.

Lots of mob guys learned that too the hard way. Money from Govt and on the radar? Bad Bad Bad!!

Which is what she was convicted for. money laundering, racketeering.

You can't do something illegal just because 'you think it's unfair'. I think cocaine should be freely sold - doesn't mean it's okay for me to open up a cocaine stand outside.

Tho that would be cool!!!
