As you may recall, the first person to be prosecuted under Washington’s human trafficking law is an 18-year-old alleged pimp named Deshawn Cash Money Clark. Now, there are no quotation marks around Cash Money because that’s his actual middle name. (Oddly, it’s spelled as one word in most news accounts, while online records list it as two.) Also, as we’ve noted previously, it’s a middle name he’s had since he was a juvenile, suggesting that his parents gave it to him. And, for the record, Lil Wayne and Birdman’s Cash Money Records predates him. So that could conceivably be his namesake.But on to his reappearance in the news. This morning’s P-I has a roundup of the cases in Cash Money’s alleged pimping ring. One of his accused cohorts recently pled guilty, under an agreement that would spare him registration as a sex criminal. As part of the agreement, he made statements against the other members of the ring. Cash Money, he said, was the leader, and something of a teacher:”‘Cas’ showed me how to be a pimp,” Johnson claimed in court documents. “He told me how to manage (his former-girlfriend), specifically with respect to the money she earned — I was to keep all of it.”He also said of the pimping lifestyle, “I could have no job but still buy myself nice clothes, have a car, video games and smoke dope.”Obviously, it’s an awful story of exploitation, girls placed in all sorts of dangerous situations for a little bud and some Grand Theft Auto. Pimpin’ ain’t easy because it makes no damn sense. It may be the most gratuitous vocation in the world. And like evil, when you get down to it, it’s a little banal.
