Valley Sex Legends, ask.com, david warthen, sex trade, stanford

So I married a Stanford-brained escort

Brazil, where hearts were something something June... Stanford's new financial aid policy, had it gone into effect a bit sooner, might have killed the Valley's own Pretty Woman story: David Warthen, cofounder of Ask.com, married alleged Stanford Law escort Cristina "Brazil" Shultz just four months after Schultz's assets — $61,000 in cash — were seized by the government. From her postings on escort's clients' review boards, bragging of paying off student loans with her new night job, the IRS deduced she must have a lot of unpaid taxes: At $1,300 per two-hour "modeling" appointment, $5,000 for "overnight," and over 80 men claiming they'd been her clients — hey, do the math. After becoming her husband, Warthen was able to convince the Feds that the money was a gift from him, meant as "a benefit for the both of them". Talk trash if you must, but since they likely met on the job, Warthen is telling the truth. Carry on, Jeeves! (Photo by RM Studios)

If you're going to have a job that isn't legal (drug dealer, hooker, pirate--use your imagination), at least report your income as "Fifth Amendment" income on your taxes. It's not worth getting your assets seized over.

I think I see two of his investments "for the benefit for the both of them" busting out of that top.

I love men. Women wouldn't give someone who doesn't have their shit together the time of day. Men, it's another story. I think that's hot.

@Patricia2:
It's not as one sided as you think, you just have to realize that the "shit" one has to have together to be attractive is relative.

No, I really think it's hot. I'm like this with smart men. They can look like shit, and I'll be into them.
