I'm imagining this, and a gossipy lady in a long dress sitting on her porch drinking sweet tea. LOL. And the lady's eyes damn near popping out of her head as she shouts "Sweet Jesus! That girl's defiling herself! Jonah, come on out here and look at what this lil' heathen's been doing!" :lol:
This sounds INSANE to me. And it infuriates me. When I rent my house out in a few years (moving away) I will make sure to let them know that they are free to work here, being a cam model, or running a babysitting business!

Yup, I know a U.S. cam girl who was recently kicked out of her apartment after someone saw her toys and lighting set up.

Maybe I'm naive and foolish. But that is the case.

Seriously, if it's on the grounds that you're not supposed to be working from home, what do they do about 1) photographers 2) authors/illustrators 3) over the phone telecommunicators 4) baby sitters 5)schoolteachers grading papers at home! What a double standard!

LaylaAubrey said:Someone could turn in ANY of you into your landlord. Yes, running a business from home is generally not tolerated by landlords, and shooting porn from home certainly isn't. Absolutely no landlord would allow that. None. Nor is it welcome in any conservative area even if you are a home owner. You ALL could be in a similar situation if your landlord found out and was pissed off enough about it.
To leave you homeless and start a lawsuit against you by your landlord, all someone would have to do is buy something off your Amazon wishlist (that doesn't ship directly from Amazon) or have you accept a Paypal payment, and then call up to get your name. Even if companies say they won't give out that info, they will and they do. Then, they trace the name or address on a site like Intelius to get all your addresses and relatives, and then out you to all your family and find the information on the owner of your home (your landlord) and call him/her and tell him you do porn from home.
Other sites have talked about this and brought up good examples. A man may approach you for a date, and be angry that you turned him down. He may follow you to your door without your awareness, and then put his ear on the door to spy on you. He hears you filming porn from home. He contacts your landlord and tips him/her off.
Really, its SO EASY to bust any cam girl, but the difference is that most people don't care enough to do so. Unless you make someone angry (which can even happen if you are not trying, like the man who approaches you for a date example), no one has a reason to tip you off.
But blaming Mila for her actions is really no better than what any of you are doing, unless you just so happen to own your home in a very liberal area.

Hah, okay but it isn't the truth, she's admitted it and besides, she was intimately involved with laundering the money through her other businesses we presume. Someone was certainly making a lot of undeclared income. If she hadn't actively hidden it she'd have probly been pursued for tax fraud already. Maybe we all WANT to believe something, but once presented with evidence we put what we want to believe aside - that's where you apparently differ :twocents-02cents:Jillybean said:I guess my whole point where I differ from most of you here is that I want to believe people too much.

What, really? Maybe it’s just me, but I certainly don’t go from zero to full on porn shoot the second I walk in my front door. And how does someone hear you filming porn anyway? I mean, what’s he going to do? Bust me to the landlord for masturbating? That’s going to be an interesting and awkward conversation for any landlord.

Whisperly said:I think there's a very salient point to be taken in the fact that SO many camgirls are actually "breaking the rules" in one way or another. Like - So. Many.
Not all camgirls get permission from their landlords to run their cam business from home, and many take measures to shroud their work in secrecy because they either don't want to get found or and / or they don't want to get kicked out or compromise their chances of securing a place. THAT gets discussed a lot, but... that's fine? That's cool.
She didn't know she was breaking the law
What happened to Mila could happen to any model?
How is it a presumption exactly? Can you give me an example of how you would declare illegal income and how you would pay tax on it? Drug dealers have the same problem, that's why money laundering exists - because when you start making a lot of money with no legitimate job people tend to notice. Esp if you drive a porsche and live in a resort-mansion like she did. In most countries you can't even bank without them telling the tax office about amounts over about $10,000.Teagan_Chase said:Thats a mighty big presumption.

Yup I believe they should be allowed to be pornstars and interns at the same time.LaylaAubrey said:In addition, many cam girls or pornstars postpone their education until AFTER their adult career has ended because they are aware of the importance of interning.
Its pretty easy. As i said earlier if she was paying taxes in her own country of citizenship. End of story. Cause that's how youre supposed to do it really. I know im a new resident of the state im in now, but i pay my taxes in the other state im a resident of last year. I know several girls here who pay taxes not where they reside, but where they have citizenship instead.Jupiter551 said:How is it a presumption exactly?

No, she hasn't been charged with tax fraud because a) she's not actually defrauding the authorities because she's not making an assessable income, she's making an illegal income. It's not possible to defraud taxes using criminal money, at least not the first time through the laundry.
As for the money laundering...lol. in her own words 70% I think she said of her businesses are 'legit'. Funny, that'd fit perfectly to launder because you can't put too much in one place at any one time or you can't make it look real. The simple fact is if she hadn't laundered her camming money she would have had no reliable or safe way to spend it.
They may not need to charge her with anymore, and/or financial forensics may be beyond the scope of this case, but I suspect they have more than enough for a reasonable person to believe the legit businesses were *probably* used for at least some money laundering - it would make perfect sense, not laundering would make none.

Yes it is. At least here in the U.S.. America has a long established rule that any income is to have taxes paid on it. Failure to report income, even those illegally gained, on your taxes is another crime in and of itself. I could cite statutes but that would be boring, so I'll simply give you two words: Al Capone.

Illegal activities. Income from illegal activities, such as money from dealing illegal drugs, must be included in your income on Form 1040, line 21, or on Schedule C or Schedule C-EZ (Form 1040) if from your self-employment activity.

Thank you. As i could not remember which mobster had been caught just for this alone. Which is why US citizen camgirls pay US taxes regardless of if they live out of the country for periods of time. Mila would do the same. She would not need to hide her camming income from Austria where it is legal to do this job.

That’s why a lot of models don’t have wishlists. That’s also why model’s ONLY select items that are shipped from and sold by Amazon because that’s a non-issue. Also, this is why almost every model will recommend using a PO box or a UPS box as they can be registered to your alias.

As far as I’m concerned, Mila is the only person to blame for building her porn empire in a country that has strict laws for porn production and distribution. Maybe someone tipped off the police, but we’ll likely never know all that. The fact of the matter still remains that she chose to do this work in a country where it’s illegal.
Edit: I still feel for Mila and her family, so please don't misconstrue my last 3 sentences. It's up to all of us as adults to take responsibility for ourselves and knowingly living in a place where your work is illegal is not being responsible, especially with children involved.
