Super Madam Michelle Louise Braun aka "Nici" of the notorious South Florida-based "Nici’s Girls" escort service is being sentenced in Santa Ana Federal Court on May 11 on charges of Interstate Transportation of an Individual to Engage in Prostitution, and Money Laundering. She pleaded guilty to one count each. Braun could have faced 20 years on both counts, but it appears that the Madam who filled the hole that Heidi Fleiss left wide open will only be doing 6 months of house arrest, and forfeiting about a million dollars in assets. It also looks like she’s keeping her house in Florida, her cars and any additional money she undoubtedly has stashed away.
Braun is the Madam that had all the usual celebrity suspects on speed dial, and she undoubtedly cut a sweet deal with the Feds who now own her "black book" MacBook, her T Mobile Sidekick and her I-Phone. An inside source who has been investigating Braun tells Hollywood, Interrupted, "The Feds are going to pick some juicy, big name clients to make an example of. They will probably be sports figures. I know for a fact that Jose Canseco was one of her guys." (Another big client of Braun’s was reportedly talent manager Jeff Kwatinetz, late of of The Firm, who has worked with Limp Bizkit, Kelly Clarkson, The Backstreet Boys and other luminaries.)
How do you make a Madame roll? Stipulate this: "Defendant further agrees to cooperate fully with the United States Attorney’s Office, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Division, and any other federal, state or local law enforcement agency." Now that Braun is flipping, all her clients (past and present) and her spiderweb of sub-contracting pimps, madams and sundry hookers will be running for cover. Watch for the names popping up here.
