In Broward County, Florida, BeiBei Zhang, a 44-year-old prostitute, claims to oversee two real estate management companies and to own over 200 homes. She further states that she has expertise in real estate investing, real estate management, and property management.
What led to BeiBei Zhang’s arrest?
Zhang, a lady from Coral Springs who operated a one-woman brothel in Tamarac and catered to five to seven customers every day, was detained on charges of prostitution and money laundering, according to court records.
Zhang, 44, of Coral Springs, is accused by the Broward Sheriff’s Office Money Laundering Task Force of having sex acts with her clients at 8341 Sands Point Blvd., unit 201B.
Based on detectives’ observation, BeiBei Zhang “usually sees 5-7 customers a day and works Monday through Friday from late morning to early evening,” according to an arrest complaint. Zhang bills $160 per hour plus a bonus for sexual activities. She also advertises her services on other websites, such as “adultsearch.com”.
After “an undercover operation” in the Tamarac home, “where [she] performed a sex act for $160,” Zhang’s prostitution was confirmed by the investigators.
The task force asserted that Zhang took out between $1,200 and $2,000 in “cash only” cash deposit withdrawals over a year in order to avoid disclosing her activities to the banks, amounting to over $100,000 in illicit profits from her sex industry.
BeiBei Zhang ran a one-woman brothel out of an apartment in Tamarac, earning $19,000 a month.
According to the statement, “Beibei Zhang is believed to be making at least $4,800 a week, which equals to nearly $19,000 a month, based on six customers per day, one hour each, at $160 per hour.”
Zhang was reportedly present at the Truist bank branch in Coral Springs, which is situated at 6210 Coral Ridge Drive, on August 31. She was accused of money laundering related to prostitution and income fraud.
Documents show that Beibei Zhang was taken into custody at the Broward County Main Prison and released after a $15,000 bail payment.
Bottom Line
But in addition to operating a brothel illegally, BeiBei Zhang was also connected to fraud and money laundering cases. Despite being taken into custody, she was eventually freed.
