They never let up.

Long live the king. Im coming on a paywall can anyone copy and paste it?

"alleged illegal lap dance violations". That sounds like the most pathetic, trumped-up charge conceivable. As a Chicago native, I undertand the logic of imprisoning Al Capone for tax evasion; but illegal lap dances, really?

Alan Markovitz. I ran into him a few times over the years. Always felt like I should go thank him or pay his bar tab for making Detroit clubs so great. Actually got some lapdances from some of the girls in his Topless Prophet series.

Let the man live his life!!! There’s actually legitimate threats to our safety that the Feds could be focusing on…. And don’t fuck up the Detroit (suburban at least) strip club scene. We got a great thing going here lol

Different link though this is really the only other news source picking up the story. This doesn't appear to be related to the business I care most about. :)

Markovitz is accused of helping former business partner Ron Szolack lie to federal agents during a bank fraud investigation into the short sales of luxury homes. Szolack, 55, of Lighthouse Point, Fla., has pleaded guilty, Markovitz is expected to plead guilty and both face up to five years in federal prison, according to federal court filings. Markovitz was scheduled to plead guilty Feb. 23 in Detroit, but the hearing was canceled due to inclement weather and will be rescheduled.

“but the hearing was canceled due to inclement weather and will be rescheduled”

WTF? This is Michigan. More pussification of America. The Chinese are gonna kick our asses in 3 years or less.

This guy makes our lifestyle and should be held in high regard. Don't hate him because he is successful.

On a related note I swear I saw him while traveling on the 23rd in a Delta sky club. I almost said "hey" but thought best to leave him be.

The picture with Kenny cracks me up. Kenny’s outfits in the club were something to behold.

Such a great time to club in Detroit. I miss those days

I wonder if this is going to negatively affect the clubs he owns
