Medellin Reports

[GoneFishin]

Since he never really used his own thread, suggestion, can we all use it now for all things related to his case, warnings and such?

GF.

I'm confused. Why would this guy have a copy of anybody's passport?

Because he provided lodging for his customers, according to his website. I'm pretty sure the law requires a copy of either a local ID or a passport.

Great report, I'll be in Medellin Jul 18-23rd with the first 3 nights at the mansion. If anyone is going to be around hum.

MDE 6.30-7.4.16.

Just pretend you are a local. If asked, just say your Mother's Mother's Husband's Father's Grandfather was Colombian, LOL.

If Colombia is not passing a law to outlaw prostitution and shutter all of the casas in El Centro, just continue to do as the Romans do while in Rome (with non-minors).

Signs saying no to sex tourism, when I arrive tomorrow I'll see if any are posted at the Airport, and look for them in front of all the casa's in El Centro, and postings in Parque Lleras, and in front of all the Strip Clubs, and in hotel lobbies, at the Metro Stations, in the cabs, and everywhere else.

Here is a video of the arrest a la Osama Binladen killing style with an army of police armed to the teeth with automatic weapons. Jake probably shit in his pants that date.

If you were renting rooms wouldn't you want to have copies of your renters identification in case there was a problem, I would.

Have any of you guys noticed the "Say No To Sex Tourism" posters at various tourist sites in Medellin?

After I saw Colombia Jake's very own admission that he sometimes posts pictures of his clients without their consent, that was enough for me to know to stay very far away from that guy. You can read Jake's own words below, basically saying that he doesn't care if the lives and marriages of his clients are ruined by their photos being plastered all over the Internet with known prostitutes.

I am always curious if your male clients are consenting to having you put their photos all over the Internet on a well-trafficked Internet site? Do they know that you're going to put their picture up here before you post it?

Just curious.

I have no shame in living the lifestyle I live as a matter of fact I'm proud of what I do and my lifestyle. The fear of having your picture on a adult website with a legal of age beautiful women is over blown in my opinion. Most of the time I get verbal approval. If I forgot to ask, sorry but that's where it ends with me. I smile when you put your camera up to take my photo. If I don't want my picture shown I turn away from the shot which my girlfriend and I do quite a bit when were out and people are randomly taking photos because you really have no control of what others do with their pictures in their camera. I go through phases where I take pictures of clients followed by long periods when I don't. I've never had a guy say I lost my job or my empty marriage took a hit because of your photo but then again you wouldn't be here if that marriage was great now would you. If your not proud of having sex with beautiful women we really don't have a lot in common and you can see from my website what you get with me. Mayweather v Pacman fight here Saturday night but you must take the $75 girlfriend package. Mixers are provided along with a girlfriend.

You misunderstood my post. I don't know the guy, never met him, and I'm not the least bit worried about him or what he may say to anybody. This is why the subject bores me. I'm a little disappointed about what seems like a few guys focused on stirring up fear and drama. As I said originally, it's not the first time nor will it probably be the last time this kind of thing happens. I didn't mean to offend anybody. The only new information I've seen the past couple of days is the number of national outlets that have picked up the story, no new facts. Anyone who wants to should of course continue posting links and play by play. It's easy enough to look past it.

LOL, you really think you're secretly on the internet? You can thank Jake if you have any worries, not the people that post about him and denounce him! If you weren't doing anything like Jake, you shouldn't worry about it, and no, not everything on the topic has been covered as new details continue to come out now and will in the future.

Your post is a strange one, indeed. Why are you worried about a "searchable audit trail" on Jake's crimes, you might want to call Caracoltv too bc his bust was on the tv news today as well. When it hits the US news, you can call CNN and tell them to quit talking about it because you don't want to draw attention to yourself, and see how that works out!

For example, authorities were apparently observing Jake for a year before busting him. That was new information and interesting enough to share. Stay tuned, I am sure there are more revelations to come.

I just read the last bit of this post. It's news that authorities were investigating him for a while? How is that news and what would the alternative be. Law enforcement decided to bust him one morning because they saw him on the Internet? LOL!

This is exactly my take on what may occur to those who stayed at Jake's whose copies of their passport (s) are in the hands of the authorities. I cannot speak to what may occur to those who return to Colombia, however for those US clients of Jake that have either Nexus, Sentri, or Global Entry they will face some tough questions upon trying to renew their status, let alone being sent to secondary every time they arrive in the US from overseas. Anyone who has expedited access into the US from either Mexico, Canada, or overseas will know exactly what I'm talking about.

Cute spinner available. Pm me If interested.

How apt the timing of this post. You cannot make this shit up, hahaha!

A Senior Member just reminded me about another one of "The Fallen": remember Peter, owner of the now defunct La Passions in Sosua?

The mansion is very careful about appearing to not be a brothel. That's why they don't take any money from the girls. They comply with all regulations that a hotel does and they are careful not to overstep the line because then they would be sitting next to Jake right now.

This is how Blackbeards in Puerto Plata is able to stay out of trouble. Unlike Peter of La Passions, Blackbeards does not touch any of the money going to the chicas. They only provider beds, food, and booze. All p4p money is exchanged directly between the chicas and the mongers staying there.

A lot of sex entrepreneurs fail to realize that A Colombian or a Dominican can get away with owning a Casa or Escort Agency BECAUSE THEY ARE FUCKING COLOMBIAN OR DOMINICAN, LOL. They are not going to let your gringo ass come into their country and set up shop like you are Hugh mu-tha-fuk-in Hefner or some shit. And your every-day local is not just going to wake up one morning and decide to get into the Casa or Brothel business. You'd better believe those guys who run them are connected all the way to the top and in ways you don't even want to imagine.

Jake was way out of his element. Just like a video game, there are levels to this shit, lol!

[James Dandy]

Contrary to what some here would like to happen, it appears the Jake story is just beginning to gain traction with wider audiences. This article makes the problem sound worse than the others.

MDE 6.30-7.4. 16.

Transportation:

I love Copa Airlines but my goodness, the 6 am departure just kills me as I have to drive 2 hrs to get to the airport in and. O. So this was a 6:49 departure time which meant to be safe I needed to be there at 4:49 am Which means I have to leave my house at 2:29 am which means I need to wake up at 1:29 am which means I can't really sleep the night before an early morning flight. So starting out worn out from the get go. Uneventful flight from MSYPTY MDE. Mansion Taxi waiting on me with my name on a placard. To easy not to go thru the Mansion Drivers. Like someone else said, and IMHO, we are at our most vulnerable coming from & going to the airport with CCs, Passport, cash & any other valuables to risk a for hire airport taxi. ¬¬ Split a cab with another guy that sat next to me on the plane so it was only $15 USD. On the return flight it was 75 k COP which was about $26. Again, the peace of mind was worth it to me. Never took a bus or the metro while down there because I found the taxi fares ridiculously cheap. The most I spent on a one way trip was $5. Mostly short trips to Centro, Mayorista, the cigar shop on C10, etc. A taxi from the M1 up the hill to the M2 was 5 k COP which was about $1.75 USD which was well worth it after several beers & a Piasa in tow. Apparently, 5 K COP was the minimum for getting in a cab although the meter starts at 2,700 COP I believe and doesn't get over 3500 COP from M1 to M2.

Money exchange:

Went to Oviedo Mall to the left on Poblado Ave when coming down the hill from either the M1 or M2. Exchanged $USD on Thu at the Western Union in the mall at a rate of 2850 COP to $1 US. I made the mistake of paying my M bill in USD to get the 20% discount, but little did I know, their exchange rate was 2818 to 1. After that, I relied on my Schwab card at the ATMs & got around 2843 to 1.

Room:

Room 7 at the M2 was all a guy could ask for. The A / see was to cold, I had hot water but it took about 3-4 min to warm up in the shower, mini-fridge was great for bottled water & beer. 4 towels per day was quite enough & the staff was more than adequate cleaning the room & restocking the towels. If there was noise from the other guys I didn't hear it. M2 was plenty quiet. Walking down the hill was no problem. After the 2nd or 3rd time walking up, I said to heck with that & just got a 5 k cab when I could.

Food:

Breakfast at the M2 every morning was more than filling. 2 or 3 eggs scrambled with cheese or ham (the ham looked a lot like baloney to me), a piece of toast & either pineapple or papaya had me good to go each morning. Ate at Mondongos, Calle 10, and the steak was awesome as were all the sides. One day for lunch, we went down from the M1 & to the Left on Ave. Poblado was a place called JC Deliciosa where they had an array of Arepas. I had the large Mar why Tierra Peru (26,900 COP) & the Mango Milk (6500 COP) & both were over the top awesome. The smaller arepa would have been more than adequate.

When we went to Mayorista, I had a ½ rotisserie chicken & a bottle of some kinda of agua con gas from one of the little restaurants for about 13 k COP. It was surprisingly good. One night ate at Barbacoa Hamburgers & Beer, to the right on Ave. Poblado. Probably $15 USD or so but the burgers were big enough to make two meals out of. Very good burger & beer within a 5 min walk from the M1. Sun July 3rd for the Pool Party, they served tacos which. Well. They were tacos & filled you up. They were fine and that's all I'll say about that. Overall the food, especially in the restaurants was extremely good.

Touring / Sight seeing:

Went to Mayorista one night with a couple of ISG guys & had a good time only because I was with them. I would not have wanted to be there by myself. To many shady looking characters casing the group of gringos. I'm not a young man anymore & probably couldn't fight my way out of a paper bag anymore so I really don't care for places like that anymore. Went to Fase II after that & had a good time but no body pulled a chica from there. I promise to myself to get out more next trip.

Random thoughts:

I.

And reading more than 200 pages of the ISG forum in preparation for my first trip to MDE, several things stuck with me.

-1) The Paisas are really some of the most beautiful women in the world. There are beautiful women on every corner of the globe but my goodness, even the average ones were hot in the MDE!

-2) Some people are not happy unless they are bitching. One guy whom we ran into at Fase II was complaining about there being no skinny women. I quickly surveyed the scene & counted 6 or 7 chicas that were at least 9's & couldn't have weighed more than 47 kilos. Un-freaking-believable!! Then at breakfast he kept referring to Angeles City in the Philippines & how he could walk 20 yds out of his room & get 100 girls that weighed 90#. Well this ain't the AC Dorothy! Be glad you are here & quit bitching about how hard it is to find a spinner!

-3) Retirement. My thoughts are, if you have to rely on someone else to pay your way, or you can't afford a $3 cab ride because you can get a bus for 25 cents, then don't brag about being retired. You should have worked a little longer. You missed the lecture on what you need to retire comfortably. Although, one should not be a Mr. BigShot & throw money around like he just won the lottery, if one has to ride the bus because he can't afford a cab, get someone else to pay his way, give a girl $13 in a cesspool of an MP / casa in lieu of $50 for a comfortable 2 hour session at his apartment, etc. , etc. , etc. , then he completely missed the idea and timing of when to retire. I guess if some people didn't self-gloss, they would have no sense of worth at all. Again, Un-freaking-believable!

-4) I alluded to this in my preliminary report but will bring it up again. While most of the guys I met at the M1 & M2 were pretty cool & congenial, there were 2 that stick out in my mind as being on the other side of the coin. One was the complainer I referenced in #2) above. No need to expand to much more on this. He seemingly was blaming his inability to find a suitable Piasa on lack of available talent! Really, anybody else on the face of the planet ever have any trouble getting the hook-up in MDE with 150 K COP on their hand? I didn't think so. The other doofus I met was so proud of his Spanish that he told me he was fluent 3 times in the first 5 minutes of meeting him at breakfast one morning. Then he proceeds to start bragging about how he is about to retire in one year & he is a professor & then he says, "I'm a professor and I'm good at it! Really? You're so good that nobody except your immediate family & the students that took your class know who the fluke you are? Un-freaking-believable. You have to go down to the MDE & self gloss like a 4th grader trying to get noticed? Then, a day or two later I hear him talking to a cabbie & I'm telling you Peggy Hill from King of the Hill is 10 X more fluent than he was. Cartoon Spanish at it's finest! OK, enough of the rant. Everyone else I met was nice enough that these 2 clowns didn't ruin it for me. Are & be were as nice as could be & went out of their way to help me when they could. I couldn't ask for more pleasant owners!!

Chicas:

PM me with an email add for a detailed chica report. All I will put here is, for a first timer to MDE, I don't see how I could have done better than the Mansion girls. WOW! No wonder some guys don't ever leave the Mansion.

You can have my share of Mayorista. We saw 2 worth calling spinners & do-able. The rest were sloppy, dumpy or silicone overloaded. You can also have my share of the casas. I'll go back one more time next trip, but if the experience is similar to this trip, the savings is not worth it. Does anyone really think they change the sheets after each pop? My vote is no & that is downright F-in nasty!! The 2 I pulled seemed rushed to get back in the rotation.

I know it's long and drawn out but I wanted to put as much detail as possible so as not to be accused of not contributing!!

Until next time.
