Pimp'd Out

» Chron: Pimp was seeking 'something different' (Brian Rogers, Christina Wright)

Put this down as one of the more colorful "slice of life" stories relating to Houston. Well, somewhere beneath astronaut love triangles, that is.

When the business was sold, Lin was a millionaire. His salary, stock options and bonuses left him with a small fortune.

Then, according to court testimony and records, Lin considered his options and made the decision to open a brothel in a strip mall across the street from a residential neighborhood on Richmond.

The 46-year-old computer geek turned pimp is now in a city jail, serving a 10-day sentence for running what prosecutors said was for three years a million-dollar brothel. After he gets out of jail, Lin will serve five years' probation.

I guess everyone has their own definition of the American Dream.
