Top officials at Backpage.com indicted after classifieds site taken offline

quote [ Seven top officials of the website Backpage.com, long accused of facilitating child sex trafficking, have been arrested after a grand jury in Phoenix issued a 93-count indictment alleging conspiracy and money laundering, and the government on Friday seized all of Backpage’s websites around the world. ]

I don't know why you'd run something like this within reach of America™.

The US has MOU's with most of the countries where you can/would keep your servers. Break any laws, play 'funny' business, and those countries will happily seize the servers for us (for a generous 50% equitable sharing deal).

The easier method would be to sign up for your 'service' as a civilian and flip the employee that eventually shows up for the transaction. "If you tell us how you're getting paid its just probation, if you give us the names of the people running this operation we'll let you go entirely, if you don't know their names but are willing to stay on as an informant and find out, we'll give you 10% of whatever we seize."

We depend on that confidence to 'get around' the rules of our financial transaction systems. Keeps us employed. The more successful you are before we catch you, the higher value of that frozen bank account.

"The higher you rise the farther you fall. And no matter how much you try to convince yourself that brief moment you flew was worth it, the only thing more painful than hitting rock bottom is knowing you were wrong."
