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...

Hob12, without wading too much into this point I agree with you. I have always felt uncomfortable with the indies posting on agency girls and their "plight" because they have an obvious financial incentive in doing so. But the irony you mention is true. It's sort of making the argument for...

LOL. Maybe a GoFundMe Page has been started? On this point I need to go to bat for XO's attorneys. We/they need to be paid whether the clients is/are a guilty piece of shit or an innocent victim of a set up. Justice is not free! I do not know what will happen in Court, but I hope the XO...

Was not referring to either. Everyone who was around 2005-2010 knows who I am referring to. Pointless to name names because others had the same or similar structures. I also remember a consortium of "independents" that Tom of blue board was allegedly behind. Not sure of what the truth was on any...

Fradi, I do not want to wade too deeply into the agency vs. Indy debate that this news story has spawned and is coursing through many posts in this thread. I have been a customer of both. However there is precedent in Montreal for a business which is essentially a "consortium of indies", behind...

Are you suggesting that it was Epstein who massaged him and stroked his penis, or Prince Andrew? I am not sure if I read somewhere that Epstein was bisexual.

Pat, thanks for the correction. My memory is not so good. I think I was confusing that XO party with a Montreal Girlfriends party that was held in a condo on St. Antoine in 2009 or 2010. You are correct that the XO party was in Griffintown. And I am sure you are right on the month and year. At...

Very true

I think this thread may be setting MERB post count records. 12 pages in 24 hours isn't something I recall seeing before.

Caulfield #40 is the game-winner! https://www.espn.com/nhl/recap/_/gameId/401803420 First Hab since Vincent Damphousse in 1993-94 to score 40 goals!

It's a little unusual that a very popular agency gets busted. As I recall around 15 years ago, the owner of Eleganza was also busted, as I recall for recruiting or hiring minors. I do not remember such a big thread on that bust, and I think that got a little less press coverage, even though...

As a matter of interest I heated up a frozen portion of that soup and it was my dinner tonight, together with a Asiago Pragel I purchased at a local bakery!
