Rentmen.com reviews, no longer allowing text

Hence the sticky post here about decorum. Concerns of that nature were why I took a break for a few weeks shortly after the raid on Rentboy. Not only was the atmosphere funereal, I gave myself a headache trying to figure out what was safe to say in public and what wasn't given that we have to assume the Feds may still monitor this site.

 

For the good of the forum (don't want Daddy to have any issues) I guess I should tone down some of the explicit stuff I say. However, on a personal basis, I would never want to poke the Federal bear, but could they really do anything about the stuff I say here? Couldn't I just say that I was lying and it was all a big fantasy life I was leading? I mean really...there is absolutely no proof that any of these encounters ever happened.

I've been under the impression this is all a virtual reality game. Now, excuse me, I gotta go slay the dragon.

This isn't a fantasy football league?

Uh huh.....this is all fantasy, just a mental diversion from the stresses of life. Everybody knows I'm a faker, and aint met any of these amazing men.

While questions of identity and veracity would make a review difficult to use as direct evidence, the real potential danger (and even saying this is tricky) is giving fuel, even as background, for the equation of escorting with prostitution. "Whatever happens happens of our free will" is a slippery slope, especially when there are threads on ensuring someone is interested in the same activities you are.

They bill in several currencies. ... My experience with payment processors is that you can instruct them to charge in whatever currency you want. Before the RB bust, RentMen billings were originating from the United States w/ a US based address.

Thanks Kurtis, all makes sense. I subscribe to the Economist and they bill me in AUD (and I can send them a cheque for the amount) but if I send a credit card authority to them in Singapore they bill me in USD. It's roughly but not exactly what the AUD amount was!

They bill in several currencies. Right now my profile is stuck on CAD for whatever reason and does show up on my card as a charge in Canadian Dollars. My experience with payment processors is that you can instruct them to charge in whatever currency you want. Before the RB bust, RentMen billings were originating from the United States w/ a US based address. Afterwards everything was switched to a Netherlands address. Their structure is a type of partnership so I wouldn't be surprised if some of the principal officers are located in several different countries, including the United States.

 

If Rentmen is indeed a partnership as opposed to a passthrough entity with limited liability, I hope whoever is general partner has good insurance, is judgment-proof, or is rethinking his organizational choices.

 

While I am primarily familiar with US law, the main conceptual difference between partnerships - even limited partnerships - and corporations and other limited liability entities, including the passthroughs (sub S corps, LLCs) is personal liability vs. limited liability and lifetime (hence, limited) duration vs. indefinite duration. Limited partnerships still have at least one general partner who is fully on the hook for all liabilities, though IIRC the general partner can be a corporate entity whose shareholders are protected from personal liability. (I've seen some complicated org charts in my time.)

 

There are such things as limited liability partnerships that are the rough equivalent of limited liability companies, but they're usually used for professional organizations that cannot completely eliminate personal liability because of malpractice and ethical issues.

 

But the point that the owner(s) may be US citizens and/or residents is a valid one, which is why organizational choices matter as well as choice of domicile. Criminal law is territorial. The cooperation of other governments is necessary to arrest someone who is outside the US, although if they are US citizens, it may (presumably with a judicial determination) be possible to pull or flag a passport. As I said before when the provenance of Rentman was discussed (that would be a useful thread to find; it was shortly after the Rentboy seizure), if it's formed in a country where what it does is not criminalized (it looked as though it was formed under the laws of the UK) and its main service branch operates out of the Netherlands, another country where sex work is legal, the possibility for such cooperation is close to nil.

I realize that this is a terribly important subject for almost all of us here. But I hope people won't mind a minor interlude.

I've been in a tizzy all day hoping against hope that @Truereview isn't color-blind.

Just booked a flight to OKC! This is somebody I got to meet. Will check firearms in checked luggage.

 

If anything happens to me, remember to tell the police you think my younger brother did it. There is a note in my gun safe that conveys as much.

Maybe it has to do with the credit card companies themselves. Visa and MasterCard prohibit a lot - they could be cracking down as a result. Using ccbill etc. doesn't mean they don't have to abide by Visa/MC's rules.

[Guy Fawkes]

Silly Rabbit! You must take the weapons out of the suitcase if you want to check them. Please do so before you meet with the dragon.

very similar Languages, looks and cultures.

 

Despite similarities even twins have qualities that make them distinguishable from each other. It seems to be some kind of American lust for convenience that makes people lump together nationalities that they perceive as the same despite there being very evident differences. Dutch and Germans are as different from each other as French and Spaniards are despite their respective languages belonging to the same linguistic families and sharing geographical borders.

Please let's don't say what's obvious... besides they do have a lot of things in common, don't they?
