The high-end brothels operated out of various residences in Massachusetts, California, and Virginia, including apartment complexes near the nation's capital. The defendants rented the apartments and arranged transportation for the prostitutes. Rates for the prostitution services ranged from $350 to $600. The clientele reportedly included politicians, military officers, pharmaceutical executives, doctors, and other professionals. The DOJ did not provide further details on the clientele.
