"Nicherie milked the couple dry by posing as an investment bank and lawyer. Managing to seize control of the couple's companies, then emptying assets.
"Ami Shafrir's main business had been Amtec Audiotext, a sex-calls operation with annual turnover of tens of millions a year. One of its biggest assets was its database of users."
Shafrir also had a partnership with Joe Shapira, Nickie Lum Davis' ex- husband.

Anthony Pellicano was hired by the Nicherie Brothers to wiretap Ami Shafrir. They convinced his wife Sarit, to work alongside them.
"Pellicano told the Nicheries he could use customized electronics to cause interference on Ami's cell phone." https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2006/06/pellicano200606

The company has been accused of being a scam. Many Hollywood insiders insist no serious agent uses services like Explore Talent. https://www.latimes.com/business/la-et-selling-stardom-one-source-talent-explore-talent-firms-20151210-story.html

Time to add 2 cups of WTF? to the already crazy story. Blake Yoon is alleged to have ties to Explore Talent and Ami Shafrir.
