High-End Sex Ring Discovered in D.C. & Boston was ‘Honeypot’ Scheme by Foreign Nations to Blackmail U.S. Officials
Several high-end brothels and escort services operating in Washington, D.C., and Boston suburbs were an espionage “honeypot” operation conducted by foreign nations to blackmail U.S. officials, according to intelligence experts.
The six brothels that comprised the sex ring were headed by a 41-year-old South Korean woman who allegedly targeted politicians, high ranking government officials and defense contractors.
“Having the Koreans out front could have been a false flag to give China or another country plausible deniability if the plot unraveled,” a former CIA senior operations officer told the Daily Mail.
From the Daily Mail:
Han Lee, the alleged mastermind, Junmyung Lee, 30, and James Lee, 68 – all South Korean-born U.S. nationals – were charged in November with running the sex ring. The three Lees are not related.
Han and Junmyung both live in the Boston area so the locations of four of the brothels there made sense. James lives in Torrance, a suburb of Los Angeles.
Members of Congress, military officers, and national security contractors who ‘possessed security clearances’ were among the steady customers at the ‘high-end brothels’ run by the ring, prosecutors say.
The ring’s clients, who paid rates of up to $600 an hour, included corporate executives, professors, lawyers, and scientists.
To entice customers, the Lees allegedly set up websites whose purported purpose was helping photographers find nude female models looking for work. Investigators believe the ring had made more than $1 million by the time it was busted.
The lingerie and bikini clad ‘models’ went by names such as Sexy Schu, Venus, Tina, YokoDDD and Tiffany.
“The girls start by asking for a small favor that’s at the edge of the target’s comfort zone and try to keep expanding the zone and turn small favors into big favors,” the ex-CIA officer said.
The DOJ first launched an investigation into the massive sex ring in November.
According to a federal affidavit written by a DHS special agent, some of the clients of the prostitution ring included, “politicians, pharmaceutical executives, doctors, military officers, government contractors that possess security clearances, professors, lawyers, business executives, technology company executives, scientists, accountants, retail employees, and students.”
Prosecutors said the locations of the sex ring was an indicator that the operation was a honeytrap for U.S. officials.
“Two of the brothels operated from units in luxury apartment buildings in the Virginia suburbs outside the capital, which are each about a 15-minute drive from the White House, Congress, Pentagon and CIA,” the Daily Mail reported.
“The surrounding area is packed with national security giants such as Lockheed Martin, Boeing and General Dynamics. Boston, where the other four brothels operated, is a haven for defense contractors as well.”
“It’s also home to top-tier universities such as Harvard and MIT that train government and military officials, and produce reports for the Pentagon and CIA,” the outlet noted.
A former foreign spy said the purpose of the blackmail operation is to collect government secrets.
“The most valuable information in Washington and Boston are government secrets,” the spy told the Daily Mail.
“If you open a prostitution business that caters to wealthy clients in those cities, you’ll get a lot of people walking through the doors that have access to them.”
The officials were required to hand over a trove of personal information, including bank records, employer information, credit card information, email and phone contacts, and a government-issued ID to be added to the clientele list, which they usually provided “without blinking an eye.”
“Finding idiots like this would be pure gold for an intelligence service running a honeypot,” the former foreign spy added.
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) is one high-profile example of a government official caught in a honeytrap after reports surfaced he had an affair with a Chinese spy named “Fang Fang” in the mid-2010s.
Swalwell lost his seat on the House Intelligence Committee following the revelations.
Watch: Ramaswamy Decimates WAPO Reporter After Told He Didn’t Condemn White Supremacy
An unhinged reporter for the leftist Washington Post was manhandled by Republican presidential contender Vivek Ramaswamy after asking if the former businessman condemned white supremacy.
The incident unfolded during a town hall meeting in Bettendorf, Iowa, Tuesday, where the reporter asked Ramaswamy about his endorsement from former Iowa Congressman Steve King, who the New York Times labeled a white supremacist.
The fact that the New York Times says that Steve King said something a few years ago doesn’t make it true.

I’ve gotten to know Steve well & trust him far more than the MSM.
p.s. One of his allegedly most “racist” comments was to build a wall on the Southern border.? https://t.co/KiJ8b1CvBb
Following his response rejecting the Times’ criticism, the reporter told Ramaswamy, “You didn’t say that you condemn white supremacy,” sending the presidential candidate off on a passionate tirade condemning the mainstream media.
WAPO reporter doubles down: You didn’t say that you condemn white supremacy though.
She immediately regrets it.@VivekGRamaswamy isn’t going to play the game. pic.twitter.com/2NHshriVZa— Chris Carapezza (@Chris_Carapezza) January 3, 2024
I’m not going to recite some catechism for you. I’m against vicious racial discrimination in this country. So I’m not pledging allegiance to your new religion of modern wokeism, which actually fits the test. I’m not going to bend the knee to your religion. I’m sorry. I’m not asking you to bend the knee to mine, and I’m not going to bend the knee to yours. But do I condemn vicious racial discrimination? Yes, I do. Am I going to play your silly game of gotcha? No, I’m not. And frankly, this is why people have lost trust. And I know you’re going to go print the headline tomorrow. I already know this. We already know how your game works. ‘Vivek Ramaswamy Refuses to Condemn White Supremacy,’ because you asked a stupid question. The reality is, I condemn vicious racial discrimination in this country, but the kind of vicious and systematic racial discrimination we see today is discrimination on the basis of race in a very different direction.
You want to know what the best way is to end discrimination on the basis of race? Stop discriminating on the basis of race. Do that and we’re going to move this country forward. And I don’t care whether you’re black or white or brown or anything in between. That’s how we’re going to unite this country. You people have been responsible for dividing this country to a breaking point, creating a projection of national division. I meet people from the south side of Chicago to meetings like this one of every shade of melanin, multiple from man to woman, doesn’t make a difference, who are for reviving unity in this country and you with your catechism that you try to get these politicians to [say] whatever fake headline you’re going to print on the basis of this conversation tomorrow. That’s what’s dividing this country for a break to a breaking point. Shame on you. Look people in the eye and tell them what you’ve actually failed to tell them for the last five years. Own the accountability for your own failures as the media. That’s how we rebuild trust in this country. And until then, I don’t have a lot of patience to play the games.
Bonus: Here’s Ramaswamy playing Mozart’s “Rondo Alla Turca.”

Biden To Deliver Jan. 6 Anniversary Address Condemning Trump as Threat to Democracy
Joe Biden is set to deliver a speech casting former President Donald Trump and his supporters as the top threats to “democracy” on the anniversary of the January 6 Capitol riot.
Biden will give the speech at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, on Saturday to continue his campaign rhetoric that white supremacy and domestic terrorism pose the greatest dangers to America should Trump retake the White House in 2024.
From NBC News:
The speech is expected to be a key component of the campaign’s efforts to highlight the stakes of the presidential election, one that’s shaping up to be a rematch of the 2020 contest.
On a call with reporters announcing Saturday’s event, campaign officials used dire terms in warning against a potential Trump victory.
Communications director Michael Tyler said that if Trump wins in November, he “will use all of his power to systematically dismantle and destroy our democracy.”
Biden campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez also said, “Our message is clear, and it is simple: We are running a campaign like the fate of our democracy depends on it. Because it does.”
Quentin Fulks, a deputy campaign manager, reiterated that Biden will highlight the dangers of a Trump victory.
“There, the president will make the case directly that democracy and freedom — two powerful ideas that united the 13 colonies and that generations throughout our nation’s history have fought and died for a stone’s throw from where he’ll be Saturday — remains central to the fight we’re in today,” said Fulks.
For years Biden has painted Trump and his supporters as extremists who “threaten the very foundations of our Republic” and “fan the flames of political violence.”
At his last Jan. 6 anniversary speech, Biden said “our democracy was attacked” and that the Capitol riot he characterized as an “insurrection” was “fueled by lies about the 2020 election.”
And in his ominous “Blood Red” speech in Sept. 2022, Biden proclaimed that “MAGA Republicans…embrace anger. They thrive on chaos. They live not in the light of truth, but in the shadow of lies,” adding that they don’t “respect the Constitution.”

That’s an ironic accusation given the Biden regime has violated the First Amendment rights of millions of Americans using Big Tech to censor them, ignored Supreme Court rulings, weaponized the Department of Justice to persecute his top political opponent, bypassed Congress to deliver financial aid to Ukraine, and dissolved America’s borders.
Notably, the majority of Americans believed Biden’s Blood Red speech was designed to “incite conflict” in America and marked a “dangerous escalation in rhetoric,” according to a Trafalgar Group poll.
Biden’s upcoming speech comes amid Democrat efforts to remove Trump from ballots in Colorado, Maine, California, New York and more, claiming he’s disqualified from running for president because he “incited an insurrection” on January 6, 2021.
