A bigger question that needs to be asked
The whole question that this leaves me with is if some Joe Sixpack can walk in with a cheap recording device and so easily gather information about what everyone already knows goes on behind closed doors in these places, then why can't the cops with all their technology, budgets, resources, etc.
I believe that the answer is because they only do things like that when it suits their purposes, when they want to take down a Vish or a Peter or a Jailey's or whomever for their own personal and political motives.
What this guy did was a wakeup call for the industry.... if the cops did the same thing and busted a bunch of places (and they can easily do it) then everyone would be saying "oh, thats too bad.... blah, blah, blah and they wouldn't be complaining about an invasion of privacy and how people's rights were trampled on , yada, yada, yada.
This guy showed how easy it was to get information and I think what he has done is made the industry a lot wiser and smarter and safer, everyone is going to be more guarded.
I dont think anyone will have much of a chance of doing this same thing anytime soon, not even the police if they wanted to.
