Social Security Payments and Artemis

: Few industries are as fraudulent and exploitive as prostitution, according to Toronto Star. Are Artemis prostitutes employees Or freelancers Since opening in 2006, Artemis had allegedly evaded $25.5 million in social security payments by forcing the women to call themselves self-employed, though many of them worked and lived there, following house rules and sleeping upstairs in dormitories. They were hunting sex traffickers, but mainly they were cracking down on a tax scam that resembles the Uber fight we’re having here. The club, a white barracks of a building near highways and a convention centre, attracts locals as well as men across Europe stopping in for sex with village girls from destitute Eastern Europe. Anal sex costs €150-200.I managed to visit Club Artemis in 2014 only because its owners were excited about the possibility of setting up shop in Canada, perhaps near Pearson airport. The women pay €80 to enter, just as buyers do , charge €60 for an initial half-hour of sex, and then charge whatever the greasy market in their flesh-toned bathrobes will bear.
