Elmwood park and the Russians..bank on it
I have been talking about this for weeks in these forums

I have to say I have seen you post about that more than once.

Yupp...It involves the Russians bringing women from eastern Europe and Asia with the promise of a job, putting them up in apartments in buildings owned by holding companies that are a front for the Elmwood/Melrose park crew, and putting them to work is 'spas", escort services gentlemens clubs and other establishmants
Low risk
Semi legit
Huge profit

lol TheArm want to place a public wager on how this turns out?

My guess? These broads are Korean.

Care to put that "toughguy online reputation" where your mouth is?

(Full Disclosure: It says these broads are Korean in the article idiota).

To be fair, the Russians do do that as well. A lot of them smokescreen their operations as online dating and/or marital sites (Russian brides).

If you know all of this info, why are you blurting it out on a message board? I thought you weren't supposed to talk about things that might get people in trouble because of your connected past?

Read the article. It was a Korean owned business.

Asian gangs are big into massage parlours and prostitution.

My rule is...I mention nothing that hasnt been in the Media, is not known by law enforcement, or is not common knowledge....this is none of the above...it is known by anyone who lives in NE Illinois and knows what to look for.
My other rule is I mention no particular crimes commited aby anyone alive or not incarserated

Asians who have been trafficked themselves may change the sheets and their name may be on the lease, but make NO mistake,this is a Russian/Elmowood park operation. Anyone in Chicago in the know will tell you about the old executive plaza hotel near Palwaukee airport...Korean "owned"..Totally Outfit and Russian run.

You just posted about the outfit being connected to the Russians involving prostitution. The people running those rackets are alive.

Never mentioned name one, and it is the worst kept secret in the midwest, not to mention 85% legit..give or take a misdomenor or two

Believe him guys...his Mom is his source on this.

Pure bullshit.

It's absolutely fathomable cmon now guys. He's not claiming that the Outfit are colonizing Mars, they could very well be in cahoots with Eastern crime organizations. That's pretty much the main source of immigration (besides Mexicans) in the Chicagoland area.

I saw this.

That's about an hour away from Detroit.

Wouldn't the all-powerful "Detroit Connection" have a problem w/ Chicago butting in on their turf?

LOL, what is the "made guys" number up to now, 100?

If this connection to Chicago is actually true, then this would be a joint venture between the Outfit and Detroit. The connection between the two families still exists today.

Look no further than a Detroit member, Dominic Corrado, living in Chicago. He was busted in the 2006 gambling bust.

Agreed.

Da Pimpin Partnership!

You are correct, and I'm not sure why this particular location made such a media impact, but similar establishments have been taking hit throught the upper midwest in large quantities.
if you think this is a coincidence that it is happening at the tail end of the mandell trail, you would be wrong
Thing is, they close one down, 5 more open in other locations. The Human trafficing industry never takes a day off

More on this earlier story it appears

This is very common.

No one said it wasn't.

OK what I mean by it being common is sometimes men and women from other countries where being a puta or puto is tolerated, decriminalized, or completely legal go to the United States and open up a massage or spa type place assuming or thinking that it's like in their country of origin, or thinking that law enforcement here in the United States is easily paid off or will turn a blind eye to people doing prostitution for money, or will ignore human traffic/forced sex slavery; but it's not like that here in the USA.

I have met men who go to women like this and pay for sex and some would hint about it, or some just flat out told me. I personally do not understand it, and have never or would never do this but this is what they are into doing. Yes, some of them were married or had girlfriends.

This was an amusing comment on the article linked above:

The fact the buildings owner had no idea what it was being used for is a joke. How do you not become suspicious when a "Spa" opens up in this sort of location. If you own a building wouldn't you want to know every detail on what is being operated out of it. Of course this owner knew because he was probably receiving a big cut of the income too and probably helped get them up and running to keep his building from just sitting empty.
