wow, that can explain why I could not enter site all day yesterday.

Report says the police arrested 78 sex workers, does that mean it had 78 sex workers working under the site's management on its payroll? That would be stupid as it is illegal. Obtaining advertising fees given via free will by sex workers is ok, but living off the girls' work is a no-no. Hopefully this is not the case and the site become fully active once again.

If the site has been smashed, why does this English site work? And more so the forum?

i thought the site was hosted outside of HK or china.
That's why they've been able to operate out of the law.

If this is the case, we will likely soon be out of business. I do t see the English forum being much of an issue. There is not money being made off this. The database is likely the issue along with all the illegal HG on tourist visas.

Any reason for us users to be concerned about ourselves?  I doubt it but thought I'd throw that out to see what people thought.

It is possible the English forum can still live on its own without the database just like most forums out there.

My immediate question would be...should we continue to post reports or should we adopt a wait-n-see attitude to see if this forum is shut down too.

I would have no way of knowing for sure, but based based on hearsay it was my understanding that the site was hosted in China, so the local authorities could not force the actual servers to go down. The people who would update it would all be in HK though. So the server is still chugging away in China, but the operational team behind the website are all busted.

@raskob, I read in a news article that 3 servers were confiscated Hong Kong side (which is odd seeing as how everything is still up and running).

As far as I can understand what's going on, the site is hosted on a server outside HK. That is why we are able to communicate on the forum. But the updating of the forum was probably done by people in HK working on computers in HK connecting with servers outside HK. That is why when the raid took place and the operators and their computers were arrested, the updating of the site stopped.

Any thoughts on hulk's question????
Any reason for us to be concerned? Some of us have posted pics of our experiences. We shared information on this forum. I dont know enough of HK law to know what it says about our acts.
Anyone can throw light on this question?

Anyone tried contacting some of the WGs on this site yet? I've tried a couple of my regulars and they all don't seem to be picking up. Either a coincidence or they ran off.

There are a couple of cross threads on this. Rj1972 found these two news articles:

http://www.scmp.com/news/hong-ko ... orn-website-sex-141
http://www.thestandard.com.hk/ne ... r=20131206&fc=8

It looks like the main reasons for the bust and shutdown of SEX141 was 1.) Living on the avails of prostitution; and 2.) Money laundering. Both of these being illegal if it wasn't obvious.

Of particular note from the articles:

QUOTE:
Profits from the ads were deposited into "puppet" bank accounts and transferred to other accounts to be laundered.

It is believed that Chan's wife ran a financial company, whose debtors who could not pay would provide their bank accounts as part of the laundering procedure.

and

QUOTE:
The syndicate used more than 100 bank accounts to launder illegal proceeds, according to police.

From the sounds of it it looks like the police don't care about the punters.

This site was down for a while yesterday and I was wondering if it's the end of this forum. However, I am sure we didn't break the law by sharing information here.
However, this forum would be a intelligence treasure trove for the police.

Yes, I also believe the machines are hosted in the USA.  Since sex141 was raided a few days,  I would guess the site might be up for another 30 - 40 days but I hope I am wrong.  Why 30 to 40 days,  that is when the hosting facility or administrators will be asking for money.  After 30 - 40 days, the hosting facility or administrators will shut them down also.  Bills are usually paid monthly.  Most servers are self running or fault tolerant if they designed the servers and network right.


Anybody can force the actual servers to go down from anywhere in the world.  All one needs is one to two administrator or root password. You don't
have to be in front of the serviers to bring them down.

I think it's a good time to exchange emails with other in case the worst happens.
