That's No Moon Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 It's pretty amazing that they shut that down and all they did was issue a cease and desist and a citation for selling liquor without a license (a misdemeanor). They raided an illegal bar/strip club and didn't find anyone underage inside, they didn't find any evidence of prostitution, they didn't find any illegal narcotics or paraphernalia to that effect, the proprietor did not have any outstanding warrants, nobody was even illegally parked. Either that was the most upstanding speakeasy in the history of speakeasies or the cops chose to ignore some stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna be tough to prove anything given it all almost assuredly an entirely cash based business and if the cops didn't gather evidence at the initial raid it's certainly gone now. Of course, he did have employees so it's theoretically possible that he kept records and even paid taxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
