That example doesn't support you. The credit card records would have been obtained from the credit card companies. Anyone who pays for whores on a credit card deserves what they get. The fact of the matter is that the prosecutors never go after the girls or the johns, they go after the agency for money laundering.

I recently represented a call girl from NY Confidentials when she appeared to testify before the grand jury. The prosecutor had no interest in the girls or the johns and gave all the witnesses immunity. They only had a hardon for Paul Bergrin who has running the place and mostly becuase he was a former federal prosecutor. The fact that he made a lot of enemies did not help. If kept quiet, the prosecutors have no interest in busting hookers, at least not in NYC.



You appear to have misunderstood me. In my example, the prosecutors only had an interest in going after the agency. The names of the customers coming out was collateral damage - they appeared on the accounting documents (such as credit card reconciliations), which were available as public records after they became exhibits in the trial.

There was no concern about criminal repercussions, only social ones. That's why I said it was a real-life example of James' concerns about giving out personal information biting him in the ass.
