The Taiwanese restaurant owner hired attractive young hostesses who were available for sex on demand. To evade police, the operators had them circle before meeting clients, frequently changed appointment times, and refused Vietnamese customers. Each encounter was priced at VND 5-8 million (USD 200-320).
