Miami Companions Indictment Excerpts

Because it has been a popular request I am posting the parts of the Miami Companions complaint that pertain to the client database. To read the complaint and any other documents that are public records in the case you must only open an account with PACER. If you have a debit or credit card you will usually have account access on the same day.

The excerpts that pertain to the client database kept by Miami Companions:

#13 - "... On behalf of Miami Companions, defendants NAYUBET LOANI SWASO, MICHELLE MATARAZZO, and/or other Miami Companions employees answering the telephones would "verify" the john by requesting employment information in order that Miami Companions could confirm that the john was not law enforcement and that he was employed. Once the john was "verified," an appointment with one of the prostitutes could be scheduled."

#16 - "Each of the johns paid the women in cash at the beginning of the appointment in exchange for sexual acts. On occasion, the johns would pay by credit card. The credit card statement for the transaction would read "MC Consulting Associates.""

#27 - "The Miami Companions database was administered by ITI Technical Solutions Inc. and its employees in exchange for payment for services by GREG CARR, LAURIE CARR, or MICHELLE MATARAZZO, on behalf of Miami Companions. Payments to ITI Technical Solutions Inc. and its employees typically were made with funds from the Bank of America MC Consulting Associates bank account."

#28 - The Miami Companions database, which was password protected, contained information about the johns, including their place of employment, contact information, and sexual preferences, as well as calendar information regarding which women were traveling to which cities to perform sexual acts in exchange for money with the johns."

#29 - "Miami Companions employees could access the database in order to "verify" the johns when the johns called to schedule an appointment with one of the women. Miami Companions employees could enter information regarding appointments and new clients to the database. The database was password-protected, and security features were used to prohibit employees from being able to copy or delete the database. Some of the employees of ITI Technical Solutions Inc. knew that Miami Companions was a prostitution business, and these employees assisted defendants GREG CARR, and LAURIE CARR and Miami Companions in the operation of the prostitution business by, among other things, assisting in adding security features in order to hide the database from law enforcement, designing the calendar to accommodate designations of appointments with various women working as prostitutes with johns in the South Florida area and in cities to which the women were traveling, and including a client database of tens of thousands of client names that included information about the clients' employment, contact information, and sexual likes and dislikes. In order to avoid detection by law enforcement, the database was hosted on a server in Panama, but was accessible from the United States through password-protected Uniform Resource Locators (URLs)."

It appears that the Miami Companions website has now been taken down.
