Call Girl Ring Busted-included adult stars and international escorts.
Metro Detroiters helped build Miami Companions into one of the country's largest escort services, paying up to $500 an hour to have sex with prostitutes and porn stars at area hotels.
Detroit also is where the sex ring unraveled.
The U.S. Attorney's Office and FBI busted the international escort service in July, indicted the owners and three employees on various prostitution or money-laundering charges and seized a potentially explosive piece of evidence. Federal prosecutors are threatening to wield the ring's not-so-little black book bulging with tens of thousands of customer names and possibly call clients as witnesses if the Miami Companions criminal case proceeds to trial in U.S. District Court in Detroit.
Federal court records, FBI files obtained by The Detroit News and interviews with defense lawyers illustrate how a husband-and-wife team in Miami ran an Internet-based sex empire that dispatched waves of prostitutes to hotels and beachfront villas around the world and listed Detroit as one of its busiest stops in the United States.
Few tour stops had more clients than Metro Detroit, where johns spent more than $167,000 between March 2007 and January 2009 on Miami Companions prostitutes, according to the feds, despite a prolonged recession, high unemployment and thousands of lost manufacturing jobs.
The clients helped Miami Companions rake in more than $4 million, which fueled a lavish lifestyle for the ring's accused pimp and madam, according to court records....
"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives." Winter is Coming Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die. As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
