Don't the police have any thing better to do?
How about all the while collar crime of wall street and investment bankers?
You might want to get your libel lawyers busy, because the story you link makes no reference to a "male prostitution" sting.
In fact, it says the men "responded to an advertisement posted by undercover police on a popular website men often seek out FEMALE prostitutes."
Another great job of journalism by the Sun, an alleged newspaper.
Can anyone over there even read?

The most I see they could get would be. Solicitation not prostitution. In my opinion why is it illegal to sell what is already legal to give away for free.
We've linked to a new story on this subject. An initial report made reference to male prostitution. Later versions contained corrected information.
The Sun's libel lawyers can relax. While you might be offended if someone printed a news article saying you have a different sexual orientation from the one you have, in most U.S. jurisdictions it's no longer libelous to say so. In other words, so what if someone is gay or bisexual.
Assuming he was soliciting sex with a consenting adult, and depending on your view of the morality of prostitution, the solicitation was equally moral (or immoral) whichever gender was intended or involved.

You'd think a world champion poker player could plan his moves and spot a tell when attempting this.
Amazing that a rich dude who looks like that would be buying hookers. I'm shocked!
...and now we know what a grown up Pugsly Adams looks like.
What's his next move appearing on The Biggest Loser -Pro Poker Player Edition:
Greg Raymer
Annie Duke
Howard Lederer
Jerry Yang
Jamie Gold
Chris Ferguson
To name a few
Hey now, Fossilman is an all right guy...you gotta hand it to him.
He knows better than to ever go trolling in Vegas, because this place is known for being potentially trick rolled.....
Remember the incident at the Bellagio where he screamed in the hallway and wrestled a couple of people in front of his hotel room door, when it was supposedly a foiled robbery (COUGH COUGH) excuse me- umm "robbery attempt".
Nothing wrong with hangin out at the safest places for that sort of thing.
