There are actually some who care too much......the so called "saviors", a couple of whom were banned from industry parties in the past because they annoyed SPs to no end with ridiculous questions in their misguided efforts to "save" them.

I am surprised that nobody mentioned that another XO Escort Agency- the US based "XO Companions"- was busted in 2023 and their owner/operator was sentenced to 46 months in federal prison in October of 2025, following which he will be deported back to Russia. It seems like escort agencies named...

Cloud, Unfortunately I am not much help due to my poor French language skills, but in addition to a "Judgments" tab, check to see if there is a "pending cases" tab, which would be any case that hasn't gone to Judgment. We have a very similar menu here and it's divided by civil and criminal and...

This reminds me of a funny story from many years ago, in which the reverse happened- a journalist called me, claiming she was interested and asking for a friend. It was a foreclosure sale that was only of any public interest because it was being done on a well known property of some historical...

The young Philip Seymour Hoffman from his "Boogie Nights" days would have been the actor I, as casting director, would have chosen to play you in your interactions with Sam at industry parties before he started XO. For the more important role of Sam, probably Henry Golding of Crazy Rich Asians...

Same exception here. You can look at any pleading filed in any civil case, except in family law cases you can only view pleadings if you are appearing counsel and log in electronically using your bar number. There is a reason for this. Financial affidavits are filed by the parties in every...

The prosecutor's file should have the police report and arrest warrants. Those are usually available to the public. In pending criminal cases, evidence (like videos, photos etc.) usually doesn't get released until the criminal case concludes. That's the case here anyway.

The case docket should be a matter of public record online. I was actually going to ask the same question and ask whether anyone looked at the case detail online. It should have information on when the arrests were made, the counsel of record for the defendants, the next appearance date in Court...

I have really enoyed season 2 of Paradise (on Hulu/Disney) which is up to eipsode 6 of 8, although the story really jumps around a lot and focuses on different characters or groups of characters at different points in time. The first episode is shot entirely in either Graceland or a recreation...

What he seems to be saying is that most violence is perpetrated against independents, while agency girls are protected by the agency's internal security officer(s).

Sorry I thought it was XO and not WT that you worked for as a booker for a short time. I am mixing up the agencies. My memories of Sam at the parties are exactly the same as yours. I had some conversations with him, just chit chat. But I had the same impressions of him as you did.

Spoke the King's English and was well dressed too. HM, you may recall that long before XO began as an agency, he came to some of the parties. He indicated an eagerness to learn the business and start an agency. He seemed to me, at the time, earnest about that. I recall seeing him at 2-3 private...

It seems like there were complaints to LE and they set up a sting, the goal of which was to shut down the agency and charge its principals. This was accomplished. It's a low hanging fruit situation. Going after clients based on seized phone numbers and texts seems like an expensive and more...

My vote would go to IN and Eleganza, although Eleganza ironically suffered a similar fate to XO. I did use XO a few times, but not since 2017 or so. All agencies tend to go downhill usually after 5 years or so. Same thing as TV shows, they "Jump the Shark."

I didn't post the photo for any of the reasons you suggested. It's just a strange photo that begs a lot of questions.NOT the ones you are suggesting. By the way, if you look carefully at the photo, it's very dated and probably taken before he ever went to prison or ever dealt with his first...

I think you completely missed the point of my post but since this is nothing but a personal attack it's pointless to respond.

Quebec law is exactly the same as CT law on independent contractor status as is mentioned in my post. It's also pretty much the law in all 50 states. So you should give a fuck. If you took a bar exam anywhere and guessed that it's what you file your taxes as you guessed wrong. Do a 10 second AI...

Because what happened 20 years ago and organizations of businesses wasn't new then and it's not a new development now. It didn't disappear and it's a part of the history of the business. You are supposed to learn from history and not ignore it. The debate is not a new one.

This reminds me that I once worked for a law firm at which real estate paralegals were "fined" if they made mistakes in real estate closing statements. For example if there was a $200 mistake, $200 would be taken out of their pay. This was back in the 1990s when I was a very young associate at a...
