Strip Club Owner Filed Fraudulent Taxes For Years

One thing that jumped out at me in this article is the photo. There's nothing outside showing that it's a strip club like, "Gentleman's Club" or "20 Hot Girls Nightly" or even a silhouette image of a pole dancer. An experienced monger would likely pick up on the hot pink color and glitzy lights, but some average Joe or a nice elderly couple might assume it's just a "Cocktail Lounge" as the sign indicates. Looking up the TUSCL listing tuscl.net (now called Boogie Nights) it's a full nude, heavy extras type place. I would love to see the reaction of folks who didn't realize it when they entered! Lol

Reminds of the time in the way back when me and two buddies were in Columbia SC driving around and saw this bar crowded as hell, looked pretty nice and paid our "membership fee" to get in as it was a "private club". Made our way to the bar, ordered a beer and started to look around checking things out..... Bartender noticed our odd looks, came back over and said... "You guys know this a gay club... Right? Uh... No. We drank our beers posthaste and made our exit. Doorman was polite enough to refund our "member" fees.

There seems to be a lot going on with this one - tax fraud - payoffs to the mayor - prostitution. This is a good one. I like the sound of a heavy extras club where the owner pays the mayor off on time!

A cash business is a nice place to launder money.

Best one I saw near me was a cash only golf course.... how would the IRS have any idea how many golf rounds were played every year unless they were sitting in the trees with binoculars counting.

In my area they like barber shops and Christmas tree places.

A cash only golf course is great! If they offer massages after each round - that would be a gold mine!

We used to refer to strip clubs as “windowless establishments.” Lack of windows is a dead giveaway, no matter the color of the building and lights.

JimmyMcNulty, you are so right with your comment about a lack of windows being a dead giveaway. However, that does not apply everywhere. If you see a windowless building that says "Kingdom Hall," just know that while you may receive a warm welcome when you go in, you are unlikely to find much in the way of extras there. en.wikipedia.org

Sounds like my kinda place 👌🏼👌🏼

^^ PSD What... no windows, or no extras?

@EC - Ha. I was unaware. So you’re saying when I retire and open my own strip club, I shouldn’t name it Kingdom Hall? Might be fun to see the JW people come in the door and have to run the stripper handshake gauntlet like in Treasures Houston.

He has a valid excuse. He had UM grads doing his books and filing for him.

Saul makes a good argument. Nail salons are perfect for money laundering.

Al got arrested on tax charges too!

Al Capone that is! 😎
