Intelligence experts are becoming increasingly convinced that six high-end brothels in the suburbs of Boston and Washington, D.C. were set up by a foreign nation as an espionage ‘honeytrap’.
They believe the brothels – allegedly masterminded by a 41-year-old South Korean woman – targeted politicians, high-ranking government officials and defense contractors.
But the mystery is which country was behind the scheme. Russia, China, Korea itself, or even Israel are all seen as possibly being behind the scheme.
‘Having the Koreans out front could have been a false flag to give China or another country plausible deniability if the plot unraveled,’ a one-time CIA senior operations officer told DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview.
Considering how stupid the people going to this brothel are they probably shouldn’t be working anywhere near the government: “Aspiring clients had to submit a membership application before they could book an appointment.
“Required documentation included government-issued ID, phone and email contacts, employer information and credit card records, according to court records.
“Bizarrely, numerous political, military and business officials provided it all without blinking an eye and proceeded to have s*x in an apartment that for all they knew was outfitted with equipment to record video and audio footage.
‘Finding idiots like this would be pure gold for an intelligence service running a honeypot,’ said the retired foreign spy.
A retired CIA senior operations officer was equally flabbergasted. ‘This is at the level of a Nigerian prince scam,’ she said.
