In my experience, most people in the restaurant/bar industry are skimming cash, at least smaller joints with less than say 5-10 locations. Few get caught. Strip clubs I'd guess are skimming more than the typical mom & pop diner type places, but it's not like it's just the strip club owners doing shady shit.
The owner of Seattle's ultra-high-mileage clubs was nailed on tax charges. City had a per-patron tax, set up video cameras on utility poles to prove he was under-paying. Sad day when those joints closed.

Most guys who are in the strip club business or associated with it seem to be pulling some kind of shenanigans. Most will never be caught.

Alan M. usually gets out of most of his legal predicaments. I doubt this one will get much traction either. Other than getting some good press.
If it was an employee based raid, A Flight Club Dancer would probably do 5 years plus have her Gucci Purses & Pleaser Heels confiscated.
Also, when the Feds are serious, they usually bring a Chain & Padlocks to drive their point home.
