Palfrey caused a sensation last year when she announced that she would sell her phone records to news outlets to pay for her defense.
But the trial didn’t reveal many new details about the service or the identities of its clientele. Republican Sen. David Vitter of Louisiana was linked to the case but didn’t testify.
According to court papers, her escorts charged as much as $300 per hour, and in addition, many have had professional careers. Palfrey continued to reside in California, and may have cleared some US$2 million over 13 years in operation. In October, United States Postal Inspection Service agents posed as a couple who were interested in buying her home as a means of accessing her property without a warrant. Agents froze bank accounts worth over US$500,000, seizing papers relating to money laundering and prostitution charges.
I am betting the sentence will be lenient in exchange for discretion. In other words, the ‘Johns’ will remain uncharged.

Yeah, I think that would be a good bet. It is amazing what money, privilege and blackmail can do to subvert justice.
Now lets see. 2,000,000 income. If she split the 300 with her girls and if the average date was one hour, that would be 13,333 dates in 13 years?
So that would be 1025 dates per year or 3 per day?
One hard working chick.
She keeps herself looking like that so that the hookers can look hotter.
As much as $300 an hour to have sex with members of washington’s political elite?
Either this is bullshit or America is fucking POOR.
#5. Seems kind of cheap doesn’t it? Compared to the story last month, maybe NY Governors have higher expectations or kinkier needs.
#2 – It is amazing what money, privilege and blackmail can do to subvert justice.
You mean keeping the John’s from being prosecuted?
>>> # 4 the answer said
>>> She keeps herself looking like that so that the hookers can look hotter.
Maybe it’s because I’m working my way to geezer, but she looks good to me.
The hair is kind of stringy but who knows under what conditions this photo was taken.
How did the Houses, allow their Members, to frequent a non-partisan madam? Every government in the free World has it’s list of preferred tradesmen, to deal discreetly with personal services.
Was any REAL crime committed?
With her looks, her rate in prison will be five cigarettes.
“accessing her property without a warrant”
WTF!!!
They did that and her lawyer couldn’t get her off? (no pun intended)
I think we’re in some kind of nightmare country.

You obviously don’t understand that the criminal justice system is built around protecting the woman!
It’s all very well explained here:

#12, Stu- I wondered about that myself, Postal Inspectors?
As a former native Washingtonian for 35 years and federal employee,Deborah Jeane Palfrey pales in comparison to the screwing we get from the whores and prostitutes that “govern” our democracy in Washington. I rest my case.
I wouldn’t hit that.
interesting that she’s the only one who’s been found guilty of anything, meanwhile, all the high profile clients get off (pun intended) scott free.

For those commenting on the madams appearance, men hire for talent, not just looks.
whatever happened to Vitter’s wife doing the Bobbitt thing?
