a millionaire? wow. personally i would've bought ocean front property on maui and surfed all day at least he'll get his wish and experience something 'different' sharing a cell with a giant named Bubba
I would serve 10 days in jail if I was allowed to own 50% of a million dollar a year brothel. After taxes you have made what, $350,000 a year? For setting up utilities and mediating a few disputes between a pimp and some hookers?
Wait so 10 days in jail + a 500 dollar fine for running a multi million dollar illegal enterprise? Where do I sign up?
Yeah. If you have a storefront at a stripmall, it would be very suspicious if you didn't pay any taxes, also, the article doesn't mention tax evasion as one of the charges. Generally, the brothel would portray itself as a spa or modeling studio or something like that which would give them cover for having a bunch of scantily clad women spending time alone with customers. They would report their income as such. Otherwise, they would get shut down really quickly for tax evasion before the cops came close to building a prostitution case, especially if a smart person is in charge.
I guess they paid some taxes but when you're dealing with cash and illegal workers they has to be fudging numbers somewhere.
But now you've blown your entire million but own a house. What then? You still have to have money for living and paying the crazy ass taxes on your house.
I wasn't suggesting buying those, I was pointing out to Stack what a million dollars will get you in Maui, he was under the impression that it would get you a 2 bdrm condo.
