Strip Club Executives Indicted for Bribery and Tax Evasion in New York

Executives at RCI Hospitality Holdings, which owns strip clubs across the U.S., were charged with bribing a New York official through private dances and trips to avoid over $8 million in sales taxes, leading to a 79-count indictment including conspiracy and tax fraud. The allegations detail a scheme where the company provided perks to a state auditor in exchange for favorable tax assessments and reduced penalties.
