Countdown to Mysterious Death of D.C. Madam; Predict When and Win an iPod
Deborah Jeane Palfrey, the woman known as the D.C. Madam, has provided a partial list of her clients to ABC News. So far, she has also revealed the names of two of the over 10,000 names that are on that list, prompting Randall Tobias, director of foreign aid programs at the State Department, to resign for ‘personal reasons’.
Palfrey is fighting a federal racketeering and money-laundering indictment for running a prostitution ring for the past 13 years. She adamantly disputes the government’s claim and states that her company, Pamela Martin and Associates, “functioned as a high-end adult fantasy firm which offered legal sexual and erotic services across the spectrum of adult sexual behavior and did so without incident during its 13 year tenure.”
I must be missing something. She didn’t provide prostitution services, but offered sexual and erotic services covering the spectrum of adult sexual behavior? I’m racking my brain trying to think of a paid sexual service that can be provided legally, but just can’t come up with one.
Palfrey’s assets were seized by the IRS on October 4, 2006, leaving her with nothing, and she believes, no choice, but to blackmail her clients in an attempt to get the charges dropped.
I believe that the two names she released so far were not the biggest names on her list and were intended to make certain people nervous. She did not turn the entire list over to ABC News and only provided them with phone numbers. I’m sure she’s keeping the really good names as a bargaining chip to convince some of the powerful people that are surely on that list, to pull some strings.
I predict that the D.C. Madam will die of mysterious causes some time this year and the rest of the list will disappear, if she doesn’t enter the witness protection program very soon.
If you agree, post your guess as to when in the comments, and the person that comes the closest will win an 80GB video iPod. I recommend listing the time of day, as well as the date, in case more than one person picks the same date.

Clever. You entice us with trinkets. Get us to pick a day. Then you take the contract and execute it on the day of the guess. When the police come knocking you point them to our posts. We get jailed. You and that iPod are off to cooler climates.

Damn Greg, I hadn’t thought of that. Thanks for the great suggestion.
Anita, I’d love to give you the iPod, but you need to guess a date first.

I would make a guess but knowing my luck the DOJ would make it happen on that day just to frame me. Those bastards know how much i want a friggin iPod.
:) I will however hazard a guess though, September 12th before 12:35pm.

Well if she has any brains she’s done the standard “Open this envelope if anything happens to me” deal. So there’s probably no reason to kill her.
I might do it anyway though. Kill her, I mean. Free iPod!

Good luck, ChopperBoy.
Diesel - If I was on that list and was important enough that it would ruin my career if the word got out, I would probably be the kind of person that would call someone and say, “I want her, dead. I want her family, dead. I want you to make sure no one ever sees my name on that list.”
This is all hypothetically, speaking you understand.
And, if I was the kind of man that worked for the above described kind of man, I would realize that my life depended on making sure that she never talked and no one ever saw my client’s name on a list, so I would probably be the kind of man that would not consider torture to be out of the question, in which case, before her untimely, tragic, and unexplained death occurred, I would hook some battery cables to her nipples and private parts and shock the location of said, in-case-of-death letter, out of her first.

A paid legal sexual service? How about scalp massage?

I’m thinking sooner than that, Goldy, but good luck.
Paying what Tobias must have paid for his massages would certainly constitute getting scapled, Bossy, but I don’t think we can classify a massage as a ’sexual service’. Unless of course something private gets massages, in which case, we’re talking prostitution again.
