@ mcgeemcgee: Acosta changed his name (he rotated about 4) when complaints piled too high. Many victims were too ashamed of having been scammed to complain, anyway; and, of course, others, despite VM's rep, figured THEY'D be the johns he wouldn't scam (the 'exceptionalist delusion), so those factors--plus Frontiers' indifference to escort malfeasance--all combined to keep the s.o.b. in business.

Definitely in this clip the butt is not what it once was. The whole thing,actually, is a bit like watching paint dry.

Phreddie and Ancaeus, I am surprised that Frontiers magazine continued to post his ads after so many complaints of his rip offs!!!

I'm about to post a little clip that may explain why butt-fanciers went absolutely bonkers over him 25 years ago--and LET themselves be gullible.

His notoriety for ripping off gullible admirers topped even that of Markus Rheinhardt--who, at least, never took out explicit ads to lure them in.
