these are all speculations, but from Jade's words I would say that Burke is the first "rich" of his family, he doesn't come from an important family (which could also connect to Tybalt's phrase about coming from nothing and his fixation on establishing himself socially), no clue as to where this wealth comes from, however, perhaps from the trafficking, at a higher level, that he runs
Can't remember that, maybe ill do a rerun sometimes lol, i know Jade said she had to work for her degree while he bought it though, that probably why he isn't teaching but bookkeeping and such....
Nah, that's all for drugs for the girls involved in the restaurant. However Burke is the one getting the sponsors, as long he brings enough smaller ones he can claim large funds being donated in his name by creative bookkeeping or he can put any anonymous gift as being his.... He's there when the money comes in, he's there when it is put in the books and he's the one that can talk to the papers about large donations from within his function in B&R.
I think that the old woman at the elderly home, that mentions that her son doesn't visit her anymore, is Stephen's mother. Basically Stephen got rich and decided to somewhat abandon his old life.
with all the fantasy of the world: the ristornate to Burke costs directly or indirectly a free tuition for girl, to,that if it does not spend that money directly it is money that it manages in this way for the restaurant.
The girls' cut goes directly for the tuition. Unless Burke works the books and doesn't put money in the college, but in his pockets directly, forcing the college to work on a loss. That's a dumb thing to do. An IRS revision gets them into a load of trouble and possible jail time.
Burke arranges scholarships and gets sex with the girls in return, why would he even need to be in the restaurant part? The less he even knows about that part the better for him. Imagine Jade would expose the restaurant in action, that would be a tough situation for him, no, pretty sure he doesn't even know about the restaurant, it's just extra risks... Quinn is the one that's involved with both the scholarship for sex and the restaurant part but it's not even a given for each girl that gets that free tuition to be in the restaurant...
If Burke has something to do with prostitution, then surely some insignificant amount and then it's clearly not worth risking reputation. The college students are probably not rich, and I don't think the girls from the sisterhood go out to work off campus. Of course, Burke can use them to achieve a positive result in some business transactions or uses them as an escort, but it's still quite risky and stupid. So far, Burke looks like an ordinary customer of Quinn's restaurant, who gives the girls free tuition in exchange for free services.
I'm pretty certain man-bun guy is Arieth's father. He has red hair, his daughter was supposed to be at the party but was missing due to a miscommunication, and his eccentric behavior matches Arieth's. We're obviously meant to think he's Sage's father to disguise her real family, but his part of the scene still holds up once we know the truth (Sage's real family, not so much).
I doubt running a teenage prostitution racket would be less risky to Burke than selling weed.
Nah, Burke can book any donation from sponsors as if it is for a scholarship, the sponsors pay the tuition for girls and he gets to have sex with them. He's the one getting sponsors and he's the one keeping the books...
Usually the 40 year old guys in teenage cloths talking to these teenagers are police.... They are so distrustful just because these raves usually attract young people, dressing like a teenager doesn't work if you're twice the age...
Quinn being used to selling drugs knows that like no other...
Even if Burke's involved, chances are he's pinning everything on Quinn rather than the other way around. Besies the sentence for a prostitution racket is like 3-5 years if it's your first criminal offense. Drug charges are a lot heavier sentenced, especially if it's multiple criminal offences of it, then it goes from a drug charge to a RICO charge (basically a list of 35 crimes and for each crime that you are sentenced for from that list, you get 20 years to your sentence.)
free tuition alone isn't enough, they don't seem that interested in education (the fact that Riona takes an exam seems surprising), they certainly have a real income as well.
Wow a completely different post that doesn't include weird ass fantasy theories about characters, what a surprise, your comment is a bless.
Whether we like it or not, he's involved in some way though. Plus it was mentioned that he had sex with at least 3 students - probably Quinn, Sarah and Melanie.
We never know who the 3 student are, and is also possible that dialogue is a flashback, so modern restaurant Girls could be "safe"
