Probably because prostitution isn't taxable and the money generated by the prostitution (dirty money) was going into this scholarship and into legal, federally recognized institutions.

Exactly. They seem to have just tipped off the wrong person.

As a whole, they were still paying taxes on their domain and their income on user fees, probably.

Scalp_Ha!

rentboy has been an open secret for years. Why care now?

Poor thots, they should b allowed to do what they do in peace. There's nothing intrinsically harmful about prostitution. I hope the people who run the site don't get charged TOO heavily

Feds Raided Rentboy.com Because Washington Insiders Fear Being Outed As Escort Users

The Ashley Madison leaks have a lot of power-brokers and politicians running scared.

Rentboy.com, the male escort site raided by federal agents on Tuesday, has always been pretty upfront about its business: Among other attributes, advertisers list their penis size, whether they top or bottom and what their hourly rates are. Hell, they named their annual awards the Hookies.

So why did the Feds wait 18 years to bust the site?

Some have pointed to the recent Ashley Madison hacks—claiming the public is newly outraged over websites that encourage immoral or illicit activities.

Others suggest closet cases in Washington, DC, are terrified they’re just one leak away from being outed—as homosexuals and johns.

Why was Homeland Security involved in the raid, after all? That’s what Gothamist wanted to know.

Don’t they handle terrorist threats and undocumented immigrants?

“[Homeland Security] was involved because the crime involved the internet,” U.S. Attorney’s Office spokeswoman Nellin McIntosh told Gothamist’s Nathan Tempey. “I don’t have an answer as to why now rather than some other time.”

But the New York Times reports Homeland Security got involved “apparently because it believed the site promoted prostitution across state and national borders.”

Still others think it was because CEO Jeffrey Hurant launched a $1,500 college scholarship last week. (The government can be sticklers about education and taxable income.)

Of course this has to be because of Washington, D.C.
