Federal investigators raided the Manhattan offices of male escort service Rentboy.com.
Seven people were arrested during the raid, including CEO Jeffrey Hurant.
The official reason for the bust is the company was promoting male prostitution.
Why, then, was President Obama following Rentboy.com on Twitter?
The NY Daily News and the Boston Globe reports that President Barack Obama’s official Twitter account was following Rentboy.com‘s Twitter account.
The NY Daily News described Obama’s embarrassing connection to Rentboy.com.
The @barackobama account occasionally sends out tweets from the President himself, signed “b.o.,” and is following more than 600,000 others. By Tuesday afternoon, hours after the Daily News reported the online connection, the @barackobama account unfollowed Rentboy.com.
Rentboy.com provides young, hot, mostly gay-for-pay male escorts to men who can afford the exorbitant fees.
Observers are questioning the timing of the raid. Rentboy.com‘s CEO operated his company openly and advertised its services for 15 years.
Many of Rentboy.com’s customers are reported to be corporate executives, Wall Street bankers, and federal and law enforcement — many of whom are married.
The raid went down on Tuesday, just days after a hacker group revealed the names of 37 million cheating spouses registered on Ashleymadison.com. 11 paid members worked in the White House, and another 15,000 members registered on Ashleymadison.com with their government emails.
The feds raided Rentboy.com in an obvious attempt to prevent major embarrassment to corporate bankers, law enforcement, government employees, and at least one bisexual world leader.
Whether Obama was a client of Rentboy.com, we will never know, since the feds will most likely destroy all the evidence. That’s how your government works.
