MyRedBook (SF based escort site) seized & shut down by FBI

[Yujin]

MyRedBook was seized by the FBI. For me, it was a great resource (ads and reviews) whenever I traveled to California and Nevada. I'm a bit surprised by the seizure since I thought craigslist and backpage are more flagrant.

MyRedBook was expanding from a more regional to a national escort site so perhaps the expansion made them a target.

Digging up trash about the guy who shut the bridge down?

Money laundering. Sounds like he pissed off the gov by not giving them their cut.
