To avoid detection, the prostitution establishment required potential clients to provide workplace ID cards and recommendations from existing customers or other establishments. Thanks to this operating method, the establishment was able to cleverly evade surveillance and attract upper-class men as clients.

The place charged up to $600 per hour (approximately 880,000 KRW). WSJ reported that the operator of the establishment was a Korean-American woman. This woman, who had suffered poverty in Korea, came to the United States and entered the prostitution business, making a large amount of money by running the prostitution establishment.

Last month, the court sentenced her to four years in prison on charges of conspiracy to promote prostitution and money laundering. Her federal public defender argued that she paid more than half of the profits to the prostitutes and allowed them to refuse services if they wished. However, the court ordered a prison sentence along with the seizure of $5.5 million (approximately 8.1 billion KRW).

The prosecution stated, "The establishment strictly screened clients to avoid detection." The establishment was able to cleverly evade surveillance and attract upper-class men as clients.

The local court decided to disclose the identities of the establishment’s clients on charges of prostitution. Among the disclosed list, the most controversial was Paul Toner (58), a Cambridge city councilor who was a regular client of the establishment. Upon the revelation, he was stripped of five titles, including chairman and co-chairman positions, at the city council last month. He said, "I am ashamed to be involved in this incident," but added, "I will not resign from my council position."

In addition, local police reported that identification cards, driver’s licenses, credit cards, and 'selfie' photos of Nurag Vajifai, CEO of a cutting-edge wastewater treatment company, and Jonathan Ranpier (56), CEO of the biotech company 'Hyversell' developing a new cancer treatment, were also found at the establishment.
