Lavish lifestyle to end in federal prison for north suburban men February 2, 2012 8:20PM
Updated: February 2, 2012 8:24PM
Former Glencoe resident Charles G. Martin was living the dream. From 2005-07, he spent more than $1 million at a strip club and restaurants, nearly $1 million at elite hotels, and another $1 million renting flight time on private jets. He purchased a fleet of luxury vehicles, including a $375,000 Bentley; donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to celebrity charity events, and hired personal security guards to accompany him in public.
Things will be quite different for the 46-year-old come March 29, when he begins serving a 17-year prison term for running a Ponzi-type scheme that bilked more than 1,000 investors out of more than $17 million, according to the U.S. Attorney’s office.

Chicago Strip Clubs: Channing Tatum, Rachel McAdams wow in ‘The Vow’

Working together offered a few surprises for the two actors.
“During our first meeting,” McAdams says, “he came bounding into the door with his three dogs who just about knocked me down. I was trying on dresses and he began to try the dresses on to break the ice.”
(“I try to be helpful,” Tatum interrupts.)
“He kept saying, ‘Rachel, I think I look better in this than you do,’” McAdams says. “Yes, he’s very helpful.”
Tatum, 31, who hails from Alabama, is pretty busy to be this helpful. He’s also at the multiplex in “Haywire” and next month stars in the big-screen version of “21 Jump Street.” Later in the year come “G.I. Joe: Retaliation” and “Magic Mike,” where he plays an upstart male stripper for director Steven Soderbergh.

Chicago Massage Parlors: Chicago-area massage parlor operator convicted of human trafficking

Chicago-area massage parlor operator convicted of human trafficking

The testimony and evidence showed that Campbell recruited and groomed foreign women without legal status in the United States to become part of his “Family,” which he claimed was an international organization that would provide them with support. He offered them jobs in his massage parlor, a place to live, assistance with immigration and lured each of them to enter into a romantic relationship with him. After gaining their trust, he forced the victims to get tattooed with his moniker, which he said made them his property and allowed him to stop paying them. The women were forced to work long hours every day and do as Campbell instructed them, and they were beaten and punished if they disobeyed him.
Trial testimony established that Campbell confiscated passports and identity documents from three of the victims, as well as harbored and transported them to ensure their continued labor. Campbell forced one victim to engage in commercial sex acts wi …

Chicago Escorts: One City, Two Different Worlds

Let’s face it — Mayor Rahm Emanuel has no idea how to handle Chicago’s “Rooftop Reverend,” Pastor Corey Brooks. For the last 10 weeks, Brooks has been living in a dark green tent atop the now-shuttered Super Motel at the corner of 66th and King Drive.
Back in 2010, Brooks and his congregation began their fight to get the city to shut down that same motel. The 43-year-old pastor said the run-down blonde building, which sits across the street from his New Beginnings Church, had long been a neighborhood hotspot for drugs, prostitution and gun violence. But even after Brooks and his flock convinced the city to close the motel, the vacant building continued to be a hub of criminal activity.
And Brooks continued to bury young men who were shot to death in that same neighborhood.

Chicago Adult Entertainment: Photos: Men’s Basketball vs. Purdue

… “@WCAS” no not on this issue– that would be ridiculous since they are in fact enforcing the law. My point was more that in the city’s ongoing tete-a-tete with the university population, one day they are going to go a bridge too far. Lately Evanston has been “stepping up” enforcement of various ordinances in what many believe is direct targeting of students. My point is, one day they are going to go one provocation too far and end up with a riot or a lawsuit. Not on drinking laws, obviously, because that has been thoroughly approved of by the federal government, courts, etc. however , as a law student (so yes, I am in fact aware of how the legal system works), courtesy of my free and unlimited access to lexisnexis, started researching some cases on tenant law and the 14th amendment. If students can prove standing to sue, and unequal application of the “brothel” law against only students, they might have …
