The apartment images are of the girlfriend's place in Rocklin (near Sacramento). The house was quite nice from what I could see on the news last night. Houses on the Mountain View street home that was busted are priced around $750k.
The guy running the operation had made dozens of deposits for years of just under $100,000 each time.

Omuro and Lanoce were both charged with interstate travel in the aid of a racketeering enterprise while Omuro was charged with 24 counts of money laundering. Omuro is also accused of using numerous aliases to move funds from the site into his control. The indictment seeks the forfeiture of more than $5 million in assets including bank accounts at four different banks, investments, a BMW and a Mini Cooper.

Anyway, some good comments from readers:

I think prostitution NEEDS to become decriminalized. There are so many victims out there who probably want to go to the police for help but they do not because they are scared they are going to get in trouble themselves.
If it was decriminalized those who are being victimized would go to the police for help and have no fear of getting in trouble. Then the police can get to the real criminals who are the Pimps forcing some of those woman and girls to do this.
The only people that need to be criminally charged are the major criminals and sickos forcing woman to do this against their own will and if it was decriminalized those victims would no longer be scared to go to the police for help.

This is about money laundering - but not the kind you think. This is ALL about local cops and the FBI getting Federal dollars for so-called "human trafficking", in a time when many municipalities and govt agencies are feeling general cutbacks.
Want to stop a terror plot, or put away some gang kingpins? Fine, but do that on your own dime. Want a cakewalk job arresting people doing little more than making sex safer, and providing jobs to the marginalized? Oh, here's a couple million bucks!
It's not so much that these guys want to be pursuing these cases over more serious/dangerous ones... But, like everyone else, they're just following the money. The real crime here is that we let this happen, and continue to encourage those in power to improve "on paper" crime numbers, rather than going out and protecting communities.

Okay so now there will be pimps making young girls work on the streets..... Wtf... RedBook made it easier to identify who was fake, who was dangerous and ESPECIALLY who were the idiots trying to pimp girls out. All of that information was shared between the ladies who did their job in a respectful manner and gave a fuck about providing good service to keep regular clients....
There needs to be some way to eliminate the sex trafficking from these sites without punishing the women who not only use websites like RB to properly screen & report men to stay out of danger, but also those who have families to support and actually enjoy what they do.

To all the sanctimonious bible thumpers out there who think that prostitution is immoral - if you ever had sex with your husband and your husband ever gave you something of negotiable value (like, for example, a diamond ring), then you are morally as guilty of prostitution as an escort.
Prostitution and sex between consenting adults is not immoral and should not be illegal. If you feel differently, then you have had your morals twisted and defiled by your relgious beliefs.
Furthermore, just in case someone is confused about this, prostitition is not child slavery and child slavery is not prostitution. Child slavery/kidnapping/trafficking is immoral and illegal. A lot of people are uncomfortable with sex in general, and they love to justify their discomfort by making a false equivalence between paying for sex and kidnapping kids.
