Well organized post -I'm so glad you put this up - i had not read anything on the topic yet.

Bottom line, this is a shady operation that definitely does not pass the smell test. Keep at it. Also what came to mind to me as I looked through the post was that weird dentist office in Alaska that had the pedo symbol logo prominently displayed and seemed to never be open. I wouldn't say it was linked, rather it is a similar type of shady local front operation.
