Clubs and organized crime
Thursday, June 1, 2006 9:05 AM
Seems to me that once upon a time organized crime had a major stake in the strip club industry. I believe that organized crime today is less well organized, more fragmented and therefore perhaps less powerful than used to be the case. But are they still involved with the strip club industry in a major way? Yoda elsewhere says that they aren't in Providence, which I find hard to believe, given that town's history. But how about Mass., NJ, NY, Philly, south Florida? Does anyone know? I'm not trying to be a smart ass or to start an argument because I honestly don't know, which is why I'm asking. I've always assumed that most of the fancy GCs get their financing from and are run by one organized crime group or another but that a lot of smaller clubs are independent. Is that incorrect? Does anyone know?
