Authorities took down a high-priced Asian prostitution ring that was hoping to cash in on the Super Bowl.
State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman’s investigators and the NYPD rounded up nine of the operation’s madams and a couple of drug dealers who supplied the hookers, just days before the big game.
“The ring has become much more active in the last two weeks, specifically seeking to capitalize on the excitement around the Super Bowl,” said one source.
“Not only did they cater to New Yorkers, but they also targeted those coming into NYC from out of town by sending text messages to prospective clients.”
Just days ago, ring members sent out a text blast to customers that read “new sexy & beautiful girls R in town waiting for u,” the AG said.
Seven more madams faced imminent arrest, he added.
Investigators were interviewing hookers who worked for the ring to determine if any were victims of human trafficking, he added.
The AG also warned potential johns to keep their zippers zipped.
“Better to get yourself in front of the TV, watch the game, have a couple of beers, stay out of trouble,” Schneiderman cracked.
Conversations caught on wiretaps revealed members using code names for cocaine, including “party,” “jewelry” and “soojaebi,” a Korean noodle soup.
Authorities said once a customer was zonked on booze or drugs, other hookers would fill his room, and the ring would bill the john’s credit card for $10,000 or more for multiple dates.
Deputy Inspector Anthony Favale said his vice unit also busted up a trio from Florida – which included a mom who had been pimping out her 15-year-old daughter — during an unrelated investigation in Manhattan hotel.
The Yolanda Ostoloza, 39,and her pal Tara Todd, 23, both Florida residents, were arrested and charged with endangering the welfare of a child and promoting prostitution, sources said. The male accomplice is still being sought by police.
