Most folks are happy with a job making $50,000 a year. But, how about a job making $5,500 an hour? That’s how much the top starred prostitutes working for the Emperor’s Club VIP were making until the prostitution ring was brought down by federal agents.
The Emperor’s Club VIP was an international prostitution ring with some well to do clients capable of paying such high hourly rates. There were four arrests made for violation of federal prostitution laws and other charges included money laundering. The accusation is that more than $1 million in payments from clients was laundered through the Emperor’s Club VIP website.
Manhattan federal prosecutors stated that the accused head of the Emperor’s Club VIP, Mark Brener, had more than $600,000 in cash in his New Jersey home that was found by Internal Revenue Service agents.
There were some prostitutes who were not paid more than $5,500 per hour and the hourly rate was determined by a star system. The highest rated prostitutes received this amazingly high hourly fee for sexual favors, but a seven-diamond prostitute only charge $3,100 per hour. “Models” that were ranked with only three diamonds charged a modest $1000 per hour.
The available women’s photos were plastered all over the Emperor’s Club VIP’s website and only addressed by their first name. Women from all over the world were recruited to work for the Emperor’s Club VIP prostitution ring, including women from Paris, London, New York, Washington, and Miami. There were more than 50 different prostitutes to choose from in the above cities. Appointments were made online and prepaid.
Brener has an alleged accomplice by the name of Cecil “Katie” Suwal, 23. The two allegedly hid the large number of cash and credit card payments in fake bank accounts given names like QAT Consulting and QAT International. This was more under the radar than labeling accounts “Emperor’s Club VIP that’s for sure. The Emperor’s Club VIP accounts were under the supervision of Suwal as well as two booking agents including Tanya Hollander of Rhinebeck, New York, and Tameka Rachelle Lewis, of Brooklyn. Hollander and Lewis could receive up to five years in prison if found guilty. Brener and Suwal are looking at up to 20 additional years in prison if the money laundering charges are true.
The ring was taken down after four bank accounts were seized and thousands of emails, text messages, and phone calls were intercepted. Three locations were raided. Of the three Emperor’s Club VIP locations that were raided, one was located in Brooklyn.
Lawyers for Suwal downplay the allegations and claim she denies all charges and a thorough investigation of the charges will liberate and vindicate their client. The future remains to be seen, but the truth about the Emperor Club VIP will come out whatever it is.
The Emperor’s Club VIP website summed up their services indirectly by stating, “Our services are professional, reliable and luxuriously pleasurable.”

[...] that the money that was spent was a waste of his taxpayer-supplied salary. After all, these were not inexpensive professionals (though the claim of $5,500 an hour seems to contradict the agency’s price list). But I [...]

I hope the dude fries! He is a typical government hypocrite; namely, do as I say - not as “I” do. Let’s see him try to weasel his way out of this one.
I feel sad for his wife; she is a beautiful lady - I’d be surprised if any of those hookers can hold a candle to her. She should dump the asshole, collect a big chunk of cash … and find a life of her own. She doesn’t need the jerk.

MY HEART GOES OUT TO HIS WIFE SHE SEEMS LIKE A LOVELY PERSON, VERY PRETTY… THE SAME FOR HIS ENTIRE FAMILY. REGARDLESS OF WHAT HE’S DONE, HE DESERVES FORGIVNESS AND PRIVACY FOR HIM AND HIS FAMILY… I HOPE HE’LL FIND THE STRENGTH TO FORGIVE HIMSELF AND ALLOW THIS TO BE A TIME OF HUMILATY AND A HUMBLENESS UNDERSTANDING THAT NO ONE SHOULD POINT A FINGER JUST THANK GOD , AND REMBER THAT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD THEIR GO I………

What a JACKASS! Comes into office throwing his weight around just to find out he’s no better than the thugs he put away. This is what happens when you give the wrong ASSHOLE a position with authority. Idiots like this one think they’re entitled and above the law. I hope this JACKASS goes to jail for awhile. As for his BEAUTIFUL, HOT wife, I hope she takes some of his hard earned (yeah right) cash, finds herself a young stud and gets even FULLFOLD!! He deserves to suffer. What a JACKASS, the night before Valentine’s Day, what an ASSHOLE. His act of selfish righteous entitlement is UNFORGIVABLE and I hope his wife makes him suffer. I’d bet he wouldn’t want to live another day with that bozo looking hairdo if he knows his wife is getting hammered by some well hung stud!!!!

Dang it wish I had that kind of money to just throw away on poo-nanny!! No seriously, now that I have your attention, let us get to the point. Goverment in the USA needs governing!! The check and balance system has become worthless and everything now is about political parties and affiliations. Sad isn’t it, some children in America are without food, medical care, and Christmas gifts but an elected official spends $$$$ on sex…….sad so sad! The trend continues…..the rich are getting richer the poor getting poorer and the middle class is fading away. Sounds like a repeat from the fall of the Roman Civilization.
