Craigslist's Brilliant Defense of Its Hookers
Law-enforcement officials have been slamming Craigslist's prostitute ads for years. CEO Jim Buckmaster's response has been benign: We don't profit from the ads, we're very nice and friendly with the cops, etc. No more. Push Buckmaster too hard, and he will cut you, as South Carolina just learned.

Craiglist to start taking money from hookers
Everyone's favorite blowjobs-for-hire site has pledged to appease 40 state attorneys general by "curbing prostitution ads." You can read Melissa Gira Grant's in-progress response, but the kicker is CEO Jim Buckmaster's promise to start charging $10 a pop or so for Erotic Services ads. It's not pimping, it's protection — haha! I knew I couldn't say that with a straight face.

How a Stanford grad flunked the escort test
Geeks always think they will trick the system by being smart. They fail. It's no different when intensely brainy women take up escorting over the Internet, like Stanford Law graduate Cristina Warthen, in court this month facing federal tax evasion charges. As sophisticated as the sex trade is, there's still no magic solution for how to hide the money. The Feds claim Warthen hid cash in a safe-deposit box, her apartment, a storage locker, and even law-school textbooks they found in the trash. I've watched clients nerd out over this on message boards for years, trying to come up with the foolproof plan. There isn't one. More »

Ask.com cofounder's wife charged with tax evasion
Cristina Warthen, née Schultz, aka Brazil, has been charged with the crime of federal tax evasion stemming from $25,424 in unpaid taxes in income earned as an escort in 2003. A previous civil case stemming from a seizure of $61,000 in cash from her Oakland apartment in 2004 after authorities found her bragging about her income on escort service message boards was settled in 2006. Warthen is married to Ask.com cofounder David Warthen, who had asserted the cash on hand was a gift to his then girlfriend. Prosecutors allege that the Stanford Law graduate earned $133,717 in 2003 and took home $81,797 after expenses, for which she owes federal income tax. Warthen has a date scheduled at the federal district court in San Jose later this month.

What this week's news means for high-end escorts, take 8
The impending Depression Lite will be a boon to high-end sex workers, researcher Sudhir Venkatesh assures Slate readers. Venkatesh has made a name for himself in the post-Freakonomics, après-Spitzer era of hooker metrics, and the high end of the industry is his niche. Venkatesh actually does get that the sex trade is way more about moneyed escapism than anything else. But when he spins off onto the subject of "high-tech" hookers, he loses his credibility. More »

Porn palace in San Francisco houses just another startup
San Francisco's Kink.com operates just like any other startup — young folks everywhere, DJ booth in the break room, plucky office vibe — except there's way more ass-fucking. That's the story from inside The Armory, the imposing 200,000-sq. ft. "castle" at Mission and 14th Streets. The Armory's dungeonlike interior is the base of operations for CEO Peter Acworth's fetish-porn production company. What began as a shy British boy's experiments — building "fucking machines" and getting girls from Craigslist to ride them — has bloomed into a business that allowed him to buy his own playland for $14.5 million. Kink.com is the cover story for this week's San Francisco Bay Guardian. If you're not up to speed on the whole fucking-machine scene, here's a one-minute SFW text primer: More »

Highly available ladies, for a fee, at Oracle conference
Larry Ellison didn't provide escorts for attendees at this week's Oracle OpenWorld at San Francisco's Moscone Center. Well, certainly not for all of them. But with 45,000 geeks — the kind of geeks who can afford Oracle's software — in town, it's bonus week for local working girls. "Jet-setting adventuress" Kimberlee Cline eyed a few obviously scalable women gliding in and out of the W Hotel, a short stiletto strut from the show. Thanks, Kimberlee — and whatever you do, don't say "exponentially" to a DBA unless you're sure it's not more of a step function. -

What Craigslist can actually do about underage prostitution
A Sacramento-based "high-tech pimp" who advertised sex with underage women for pay on Craigslist is now in custody. Federal investigators were able to bust 22-year old Stephen McKesson after one of the young women's friends saw her photo in Craigslist's Erotic Services section for panderers. Nobody will see the benefit to the community in this: In terms of ensuring the health and safety of teenage prostitutes, or in terms of good publicity for Craigslist. CEO Jim Buckmaster and founder Craig Newmark get all the blame for offering a space for sex trade ads, but none of the credit for the accidental public service such space offers. As if there were no unwilling minors in prostitution before abusive but charismatic hustlers got laptops? More »

Is A Small World turning into a social network for sugar daddies?
The managers of A Small World, an invite-only social network backed by movie producer Harvey Weinstein and billed as "MySpace for millionaires," is worried — and not just because the company's financial footing is less than secure. Relying on luxury advertising, the site's revenue mainstay, is looking dicey. Meanwhile, the site has become a haven for wealthy men looking to spend some time with beautiful women while jetting in and out of ritzy destinations. Most of the young women on the site aren't powerful business figures. But they're not exactly "sex workers": After all, it ruins the illusion for a man if he feels he's paying for moments of shared intimacy. "Party girl" is probably a more apt description (think Audrey Tatou in Priceless or San Francisco's first lady Jennifer Siebel in Mad Men). The proliferation of wealthy playboys and those chasing them puts the startup social network in a bind. More »

Craigslist cops bust up another sex-extortion scam
Another trio of small-time crooks have been charged with extortion for threatening to expose a California client of an online prostitute. These Fresno-based operators, working with an escort who used Craigslist to meet her client, demanded cash in exchange for keeping his prostitution habit a secret. Is this a copycat crime, inspired by the three scammers who told a Bay Area tech executive they'd leak a sex tape of him with a prostitute unless he paid them off? If the accused Silicon Valley extortionists were reminiscent of The Big Sleep, with their requested $250,000 bribe, the Central Valley guys are more The Big Lebowksi. They said they'd keep mum for a mere $3,000, to be left "in a shopping cart in a parking lot" of a local mall. -

And Bedpost, even in its early releases, gets uncomfortably close to working as a sex predictor — if spreadsheets turn you on. More » -

New Playboy show forces men to choose: cheap gadgets or free sex?
There's something awfully honest about Gadget or the Girl, Playboy TV's lightly geeky reality dating show. The premise is that a guy is offered the choice of a hot weekend date or a shiny man toy — "Sometimes it’s best to go for the sure thing" says the promo copy. Viewers get to peek into the televised courtship. There's no effort to geek up the girls, no concession to the notion that women have gear lust, too. No sex toys, even! It's pure dorm-room discourse: Dude, why even try to go out and get laid tonight when you can just stay home with your flatscreen TV? Sure, it sounds awful, but after running the numbers using figures from the sex industry as a proxy, we've found that the guys in the show have a pretty good idea of what romance is worth. More »

Fake a phone number for your online hookups
No one wants to give their last-minute, late-night, drunk-from-the-open bar Craigslist "date" their real phone number. It's this free-sex market that Hookupdigits hopes to tap: the site generates proxy phone numbers that expire after 7 days, good for calls ten minutes or less in length. Other startups have gone here before: Numbr was a disposable call forwarding service, and Jangl gave both halves of the hookup a unique number. Both have since folded. The failures of its predecessors isn't Hookupdigits biggest problem. Let's start with the photo they use as their lead graphic — of San Francisco Web microcelebrities Chris Messina and Tara Hunt, whose "digitally enabled breakup" was so blogged about that it made it into print.

$250,000 escort sex-tape extortion scam fails
An as yet unidentified "Silicon Valley businessman" just got away with hiring an escort off an also as yet unidentified "social networking service." Of course he's not the only one — we're just hearing about him in the Chronicle, the Mercury News, and even the Palo Alto Daily, because his session, in a Palo Alto hotel room, was taped by a team of would-be extortionists. Last week, the Valley guy called the Los Altos police to his aid when "explicit images" from the tape turned up in his work email account, with the threat that unless he turned over $250,000, the tape would be leaked online. They'd recorded him on surveillance cameras without his knowledge. More »

New York Times reporter poses as hooker on Twitter

The messages read as if they're written both by a hooker and the murderous john she meets, somewhere on the road to Denver for the Democratic National Convention. Tweeting in drag as a prostitute. Is it an old-fashioned Internet man stunt? Part of Richtel's recent day-job obsession with covering the Internet sex industry? Or is it some kind of experiment for his moonlight career as a novelist? Whatever Richtel's motive, the result is deeply creepy. His most whorish updates follow: More »

How Google can whore out its virtual world
Lively, Google's entry into the 3D-avatar chat market, has been neutered before its time, writes the Economist. But in the midst of the starchy business newspaper's tour of the service, its editors hit on the solution: "Although some popular rooms—“Love Sweet Love” and “Sexy Babes Club”—have had thousands of visitors, the number quickly drops into the double digits further down the list." It's obvious, yes? Even if your terms of service beat sex into submission, users will find their own way to slip it back in. They're feeling lucky, even if Lively's product managers aren't. So why not embrace what a truly open sex market, powered by Google, could look like? More » -

Reporter pays $2,000 to bail on hooker assignment
Radar magazine has discovered hipsters in the sex trade. But make no mistake: These aren't San Francisco's Web-powered indie sex entrepreneurs. These women may wear little black leggings and sport Tina Fey glasses, but like most New Yorkers, they're employees at heart. Unlike their San Francisco counterparts, they largely rely on madams who handle both scheduling and billing. Radar assigned writer Jessica Pilot to commit an entitled act of stunt journalism: While ostensibly on the magazine's dime, she would turn a trick herself, and write it up first-person. She went it at like a novelist-wannabe temp showing up for a stint as a file clerk. More »

VC caught up in largest online-escort sting
Arizona police busted Night Entertainment Partners, a $3 million-a-year conglomerate of escort agencies, earlier this month. Caught in the sweep: William Ferretti, a venture capitalist who now faces felony charges. Night was far larger than Emperor's Club VIP, the agency most infamous for its former Client 9, Eliot Spitzer. Its business spanned three states and the bust has resulted in 55 indictments and 33 arrests, including Ferretti, whom prosecutors seem to be charging with funding the operation. Where did he first come into contact with the business? His attorney says it was at an Apple Store in Arizona, which happened to be in the same building as the escort services' corporate offices.

Facebook-for-fetish makes accidental porn model
A dating site billing itself as the Facebook of kink has played host to the accidental debut of actual Facebook user Becky Spraggs as a model-for-hire. According to Spraggs, photos from her Facebook account were used to make a fakester profile at FetLife.com, listing her ex's mobile number as her agent's with the come-on "I want to be used and abused." The profile elicited 50 phone calls offering her work. FetLife's founder John Baku says he removed the profile within 30 minutes of hearing the complaint — not from Spraggs, but from a reporter. As much as we journalist types like looking at your naughty Internet bits, next time someone accuses you of being kinkier than you want to admit online, maybe try hitting up the tech support guys first? -

Ballot measure to promote Internet over jail for San Francisco prostitutes
An addition to the Barackathon at the San Francisco ballot box this November: a measure to decriminalize prostitution among consenting adults. City officials are already complaining it will hinder their efforts to prosecute related crimes, or that its passage will be "a welcome mat for prostitutes and pimps to come and hang out in San Francisco." Such talk conjures images of throngs of pimps 'n' hos crowding SF sidewalks. But most prostitution is now hidden indoors, and marketed on the Internet, as a member of the organization sponsoring the vote, the Erotic Service Providers Union, explained to local CBS news reporters. (I don't expect anyone from Craigslist to weigh in on the topic, but the site links to ESPU atop its Erotic Services section — making Craig Newmark a very low-key sugar daddy.)

Aw, it's so darn cute when it's a twentysomething straight white boy looking to pay-for-play on Craigslist that no one even mentions prostitution.

That nugget of hope, care of former Match.com CEO Jim Safka, comes tucked into Newsweek's Sex & the Single Boomer.
