The other escort services.


That escort services are rivals and have wars going on is all a myth. At least in Florida most all of us are friends and there is no animosity what so ever. It is true that my service was the largest. But figures of 6 million and 90% market share were outrages lies made up by the po po just to justify their investigation efforts and selective prosecution. Here is an overview of me and my competition from 1998-2003 in The Fort Lauderdale to West Palm area.

No. 1; That was my escort service. In my second chapter you can read about how I started it with nothing and grew out to be the biggest. 
This was the average volume per day:
1995: 6 calls.
1996: 15 calls.
1997: 30 calls.
1998: 40 calls.
1999: 50 calls.
2000: 75 calls.
2001: 100 calls.
2002: 75 calls.
2003 first half year till I got locked up; 70. After I got locked up it dropped to 50.
2004; 45 calls.
2005; 40 calls
2006; 30 calls
2007; 25 calls
2008; 10 calls
The business was stolen by ex phone operators in June 2008. Soon after the business died completely. We used to charge up till Jan 1 2002 $180 cash and $200 credit card. After that $200 and $245 credit card.

No. 2; “Skinny David” real name David Naftaly. He is a very smart guy. He is the absolute contrast of what people think of as a pimp or escort service owner. He is skinny and short and his face is like a pizza. (Some called him pizza face). He is from Israel and had a sandwich shop that went broke. He came at the end of 98 out of nowhere and a year later he was no. 2 in the biz. He became no. 2 due to a combination of clever moves and innovative steps. He was the first competitor to follow my introduced system of booking calls without having the girl talk to the client. Then he put photos of girls in sleazy magazines right by the independent girls. He had numerous different photos of real girls that worked for him with different phone nos. He tapped in the market of clients who wanted to deal directly with a independent girl. David would work seven nights a week. He would hire every girl, no matter how ugly. His price was $150 per hour versus others around $180. He would not have a black list, meaning he would service crazy clients banned from every escort service. He would take checks, while nobody else did. He would give his regulars credit if they had no money. He would go as low as $120 per hour in multiple hours. The escort would get $100 and he would get $20. There were no mandatory shifts for the girls and no rules. If girls would run of with money or spend it, he would say no problem just come back to work. David was real big in the in call market. This is were you go to a location and there are several girls you can choose from. He had no problems with the po po because he was paying them. At one point he had 4 in call places.

When the po po would drive in his office parking lot he would invite him in for coffee and have a girl give him a blow job including swallowing for free. He would set up 3 in call places, which gave him tremendous business. His day time business even surpassed mine. His call volume was around 90% of mine. In the end, he had lower commissions due to his lower prices, discounts, bounced checks, pay offs, etc. David and I got along always very well. If a girl would run of with money from my business and the girl would start to work for him, he would collect the money in steps and drop it of at our office. We met several times and there was a great deal of mutual respect always. By early 2000, he wanted to explore some form of partnership. I explained that  I do not like partners, especially men and it would not work anyhow since our agency’s were exactly the opposite in every way. He believed that he was doing it the better way and I believed I did. He wanted to get closer to the cops while I was suing them. He wanted to hire these nasty crack heads with pimps because he believed in his way of doing it. He had a totally different philosophy then I did. But who knows? Maybe he was right and he is the best of all escort services. He never got locked up and never got deported like I did. David is still in business in 2010. It seems paying the cops was the best strategy in the long run.
Skinny David's service did in those years an average of 25 calls per day. Note; that his commission was way lower then the other services.
Update; Sep 7 2010 ; Skinny David got busted by the FDLE. Guess David only paid the local popo and not the Florida popo  see here;

No.3; “Big David” real name David Bachmann. He served 9 months for money laundering in 2006, relating to his escort service. Big David came in 1999 from New York where he was a phone operator for an escort service. This guy did everything different.  I did not hire girls without  a car. He only hired girls without a car. At his service it was mandatory to get a driver from his service. This David guy answered the phones himself 7 days a week. He had no office but ran his business from his Boca raton townhouse. After a few years, he did an average of about 20 calls daily in escort service call volume. Big David used to charge $180 cash even when I raised the price to $200 in 2002.  He would pay his girls once a week for calls they did on a credit card. My service paid instantly cash on the girls credit card calls. He even bribed the Yellow pages to get an "A A " listing  (A Abc) while no new ones were allowed and to find out about my adds for the upcomming phone book.
David's arrest;

No. 4; “Fat Matt” real name Michael Paparo . He would portrait himself as being with the mob but he was not, or at least not anymore, that was part of his show. He talked with a heavy New York accent. He knew how to play the game. The girls really looked up to him with respect. Before Skinny David and Big David came around, he was no. 2  and I was no 1. He also had special ways of doing things, he tapped in the high class market. He hired professional photographers to make beautiful pictures. He had beautiful designed advertisements. He sent his pretty girls out for $260 and the medium pretty for $220 he had an in call place and was paying the police. He never ever had girls getting arrested because he knew when the stings in hotels were going on.

He started in 1994. He started his business by using a cell phone. He would then drive up and down on US1 between Oakland and Sunrise where all the street hookers were walking up and down. He would answer his cell phone, book the call, pick up a street hooker, let her talk to the client and bring her. We did not get along. It bothered him that I was the no. 1  and that he was no 2 and later 4. His avarage call volume would stay stuck at about 15 calls a day. He would always bad mouth my escort service in every interview he had with his new escorts. He used to say: ”If you don’t work for me go somewhere else, but don’t go work for Arthur’s .” He would then explain where our office was, and tell the girls not to go there for an interview. He would say that my phone operators were big, fat, and strong bitches that would beat up the girls regularly for no reason. And that my escorts had to do mandatory: anal sex, everything without a condom, and swallow. He had arranged with the police that 3 escorts that were fired by me could come in and make statements against me. These false statements were then used in raiding my service in 1998.

He always tricked escorts or pimps in to buying half his business for $25,000, then after a few months, they vanished from the face of the earth. He did the same thing over and over. His partners always mysteriously disappeared because he killed them or had them killed and then they would be missing. Once he scammed his partner and this guy went to the IRS to snitch Matt out for tax evasion. Matt had never paid any taxes since he started. The IRS raided his house, they took $140,000 of his money and gave him later 35% back. He never spent a day locked up. It sure helps when you pay the cops from the Fort Lauderdale police. 
In 2007 Matt died of cancer. He  had never paid a penny  in taxes and never spent  a day in jail. He  had never made  it to the no 1 position as he had hoped for so desperately. 

No. 5 “Dough” Dough Williams. He started in 1993. His service was one of the first to have an office. He had a real main stream agency with a little of everything. He is a smart guy and invested his money in multiple apartment buildings and other real estate. I am on a friendly basis with him. He never cared that I started after him and surpassed him. His call volume never changed over all these years. His service did an average of 15 calls a day. He was not paying the cops and he did get arrested Dec 1996. After this he totally went to the background and had managers run his place. He worked on his real estate. The Fort Lauderdale cops did tried to close his business and tried to make cases against him but he was to much in the background. Furthermore the cops were to much obsessed in getting me down and that took all their attention.

No. 6 “Cracker Jack” He used to be an attorney and then got real hooked on the crack rock. He smoked away all his money. He started in 1993 and he has his place in the business. He only hires crack heads and they are allowed to smoke it in his office. These girls prefer working for his agency. He built a clientele that loves his crack heads. Very few people have been around as long as he has. He did about 10 calls a day. He was still in business in 2010.

No.7 “Roy” He came out of prison being there for murder on parole. I remembered him calling me stating he was a convicted murderer and needed a job as a driver or phone operator or collection or whatever needed to be done. I told him I do not work with men. He then called all the other agencies. Skinny David hired him. Roy played an important role in the success of Skinny David. Eventually they split and they split his phone lines 65% for Skinny David and 35% for Roy. Roy was famous under the escorts for his big dick and ghetto look. Girls would come from all over because they wanted to fuck him. He had so many girls working for him that he could not give them all enough escort work, he then started selling some of his girls to Skinny David. He also had learned to speak fluent Spanish in jail. He would go to Columbia or Brazil and come back with 10 to 15 girls. He is currently locked up again because he violated his parole. He sold his business back to Skinny David.
