Because they weren't allowed to stop being prostitutes?

Probably something to do with having their passports and air tickets confiscated by the brothel owners Rolling Eyes

The stable was generating $2.5M annually .... customers are happy, the mares are getting a piece of the action, a win-win. Someone forgot to pay off the new immigration officer.

I am not sure the mares were getting a piece of the action. Just worked 20 hours a day to work off hugely inflated flight costs. They were effectively imprisoned.

Ironically, the leaders were also Koreans..

Quote:

The five people arrested include a South Korean woman and a Korean-Australian woman, who police allege is the head of a syndicate that was making $2.8m (�1.4m) annually.

At the weekends, vanloads of Asian men would descend on the premises, he says.
