Ashley Alexandra Dupre scandal :How much can you make running a high-end prostitution ring?

According to the FBI affidavit, which makes for surprisingly good reading, the four defendants who ran the Emperor's Club VIP raked in only a paltry $1 million during their four years of operations. The money (cash, wire transfers, money orders, and American Express charges) was deposited in two bank accounts registered to QAT Consulting Group, Inc. and QAT Group, Inc.
If so, they are probably the most poorly paid "consultants" in the world.
However, some of their proceeds were kept at home, with $600,000 and 19,000 euros in cash seized when authorities raided Brener's home.

How much did the models make?
Checks and wire transfers were made out to 50 prostitutes in the US and Europe totaling more than $400,000. At an average of $8,000 per model over four years, it shows that the job paid surprisingly poorly despite the supposedly high-end clintele. Of course, it's possible that the bulk of payments were done using cash.

How much time can you serve?

Brener and Suwal face up to 25 years while Lewis and Hollander are looking at 5 years if convicted. Definitely not a good ROI investment.

It's been difficult finding pictures of the defendants. So far only Hollander seems to have been spotted (she's on the left, lawyer on right):

Ashley Alexandra Dupre : Mayflower Hotel

A day before Valentine's Day, Gov. Eliot Spitzer checked into the now-infamous Renaissance Mayflower Hotel and effectively ended his career. Room 871 is where he met with "Kristen", a model provided by the Emperor's Club VIP for the princely sum of $4300.
The recently remodeled Mayflower Hotel is located just four blocks away from the White House. Besides the great location, the Mayflower has also been the hotel of choice for prominent guests like Monica Lewinsky, John F. Kennedy, Franklin D. Roosevelt (who stayed in room 776), and even Walt Disney. It's no surprise that a governor of New York would choose to stay there.

Travel guide Frommers has this to say about rooms at the Mayflower:

"individual refuges of elegance: silvery green bed coverings, embroidered drapes, silk wall coverings, pillow-topped mattresses, and sink-into armchairs are some of the finer touches. Certain gracious appointments remain: Each guest room still has its own marble foyer, high ceiling, mahogany reproduction furnishings (Queen Anne, Sheraton, Chippendale, and Hepplewhite), and Italian marble bathroom"

If that's not enough for you to visualize the scene, now you can actually see pictures of Room 871 where "Client 9" and "Kristen" met:

Ashley Alexandra Dupré: What's next for "Kristen"?

Now that her main(?) source of income has decisively dried up, Ashley's deciding whether to work in a friend's restaurant or move back in with her family in New Jersey since her boyfriend moved out after she discovered he had two kids.
"Kristen" will also be testifying against the four defendants in the Emperor's Club VIP case.

The four are:

1. Cecil Suwal, 23, in charge of model recruitment (Mark Brener's girlfriend) a.k.a. "Katie" or "Kate"
2. Temeka Rachelle Lewis, 32-year-old booker number one a.k.a. "Rachelle"
3. Tanya Hollander, 36, nutritionist by day and booker number two by night (see picture below) a.k.a. "Tania Hollander"
4. Mark Brener, 62, the leader of the Emperor's Club VIP, who was found with 2 Israeli and 1 US passports in his possession a.k.a. "Michael"

Ashley Alexandra Dupré: Positive Energy Attracts Positive Energy?

Asheley's first MySpace blog entry on the "Law of Attraction", which has received almost 1000 comments, talks about her views on relationships. She lists four relationship criteria:

• Does that person make you feel good?
• Does that person drive you to be better?
• Is that person right there behind you when things arent that good, or even if they are??
• Will that person be an asset to your life...(will that person have value): doesn’t have to be financial, i am talking respect, courage, and umm RESPECT.

This was posted in August 2007. Did she change her mind and become a call girl?? And Why??

Ashley Alexandra Dupré : Stay's at a luxury skyscraper

The FBI affidavit shows that "Kristen," a.k.a. Ashley Alexandra Dupré, charged $1000 an hour for her time with Spitzer. The "high-end" call girls of the Emperor's Club VIP were ranked from 3 diamonds at $1000 an hour up to $3100 for a 7 diamond model, indicating that she was on the lower end of the scale. We can only imagine the qualifications for a 7 diamond model.
Records show that "Kristen" may have simply been trying to make some rent money when she inadvertently bumped into Governor Eliot Spitzer. She is currently living at the Chelsea Landmark (55 West 25th Street), a luxury skyscraper where rents start at $3500 a month. If her now ex-boyfriend hadn't been paying for the rent, she would have needed more than a few Starbucks jobs to cover it! Fortunately, her one night stand with Spitzer netted $4300, more than enough for rent money.

The slogan on Ashley's MySpace Music page says it all, "what destroys me, strengthens me." As a formerly unknown artist, Ashley has really turned adversity into opportunity. In just a few days, she has gotten over 2 million MySpace profile views, and her Myspace profile features a song called "What We Want", which has been played over a million times. Now, fans actually seem to care that her favorite artists are Aretha Franklin, Celine Dion, Alicia Keys, and Aerosmith among others. She describes her music and herself:
I am all about my music, and my music is all about me… It flows from what I’ve been through, what I’ve seen and how I feel.
She also writes about her odyssey leaving a broken home at 17, being alone, doing drugs, and deciding on a career in music in New York.

Ashley Alexandra Dupré: picture gallery

"Kristen", Eliot Spitzer's a.k.a. "Client 9's" call girl date in Room 871 of the Mayflower Hotel, has been identified as Ashley Alexandra Dupré, a 22-year-old aspiring singer living in the Flatiron district of Manhattan. Scroll down for the picture gallery. Dupré has also been know as Ashley R. Youmans, which she changed legally to Ashley Rae Maika DiPietro in 2006. If that sounds confusing, and a little Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, it is, because she has 4 names - if you count "Kristen."
