Arrest sheds light on 'upscale' escort business

(old article but interesting)

http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/2014-03-05/news/os-upscale-prostitution-business-20140305_1_mbi-director-larry-zwieg-downtown-orlando-agents

Christina Lynn Davis told agents she made up to $80,000 a month as an "escort" for businesses such as "Ashley's Playmates."

Jennifer Helen Richmond, her friend and another suspected prostitute, said she earned $500,000 in one year.

Davis and Richmond brought in so much cash to their "upscale" prostitution ring that they hid the money in the air vents at their apartment near downtown Orlando and stashed more in storage units, records show.

The Metropolitan Bureau of Investigation has been investigating the ring for years, but it wasn't until recently that serious charges were filed.

What gets me is how much more they were charging for business dinners then for just dates.
