Atlanta Escorts: Toys R Us and Prostitutes
Posted on December 22nd, 2009 in Atlanta escorts
It’s funny how sometimes one seemingly insignificant detail really makes a story come together. Like if you heard some guy stole money to pay for a hooker, that might be interesting. But if you hear a dude embezzled money from Toys R Us, and it was £3.6 million, and it took place over several years time, then the story becomes kind of awesome. Why does Toys R Us make it more entertaining? Who knows, maybe it’s the whole Santa Claus vibe around Christmas.
In this case, Paul Hopes was an accountant, so presumably he had the inside scoop on the best way to sneak away with around $7 million and give it to about 5 prostitutes he became somewhat obsessed with. At the same time he was making $56K a year and had a wife and kids.
Hopes met one girl on her first day at a massage parlor and within a month had convinced her to quit, while cashing in over $1 million of stolen loot to pay for her. Somewhere in all that was a Bentley, a $300K house, a Lexus and a Land Cruiser. On top of that, a handful of other girls got cars as well.
Hopes is, apparently, the King of those dudes you see at strip clubs who buy non-stop drinks and long-stem roses for their favorite girls. The guys who devote half their pay check in the hopes that they’ll be the guy the stripper falls in love with. Only in this case, because there is sex involved, the ante was upped a hundred times and those drinks and roses became cars. Which is insane.
So really this story, despite some humorous elements, is a tragedy. This guy fucked himself and fucked himself hard. He got caught and is now going to prison for seven years. And why? He couldn’t separate the fantasy from the reality. It’s the sort of trap no one thinks they’re going to fall into, yet so many people do (though rarely to this degree).
It’s important to remember that an escort does this for a living.
