     In any case, it's deplorable to promise two people jobs 
     as lifeguards in Virginia Beach, only to bait-and-switch 
     them into something that was, at best, a job in a 
     disgusting strip club (as the google street view of the 
     address would indicate)

The guy in metafilter who furnished you that streetview, couldn't even get the city right. This club is on New York Ave, in DC, and that guy showed you an address in New York City.

If you actually google "Lux Lounge Washington DC", http://www.google.com/search?q=lux+lounge+washington+dc you'll see some lovely pictures of a very nice place. Go on, look at it, I'll wait.

It looks to me like a very nice place, and it's definitely not a "disgusting strip club". It's not even a "really nice strip club". It appears to be a regular club, with lines in the street of people (women and men) wanting to get in.

That isn't true; read the article. There's also a Lux Lounge in NYC, and that's where they were heading right up to the point where they changed their minds at the last minute (at which point they were in NYC).

They were in regular contact with the person they were supposed to meet ("George"), who told them to meet in NYC. They took the greyhound to NYC. Given that there is also a Lux Lounge in NYC, what would make you think the existence of the lounge in DC is anything other than a coincidence? Everything we know about this situation indicates otherwise.

I see, finally, in his original post, he mentions NYC at the very beginning.

Quite a coincidence, isn't it? They're in DC, there is a Lux Lounge, and it is on New York Ave., but they're actually supposed to go to a different Lux Lounge, in New York City.

We have people speaking their non-native tongue, and a guy who is texting and talking while driving. Can't wait to find out the real story.

Interestingly, from across the street, it's Lux.
