Satin Dolls' owners were charged in May of 2017 with criminal solicitation for prostitution and lewd activity on the premises.
I don't know how anybody could have thought any differently when the joint got approved...they have couches downstairs where you get lap dances, and 3 rooms upstairs {champagne room} where you get your rocks off...Only a fool couldn't see that !!
They were also allowing drugs to be sold in there !!
I know 2 non stripper workers there , more so in the Jersey City joint and while it was clearly mob associated with the 10% bs ATM fees, vending machine , garbage and allowing the girls to make extra $ in The champagne room I never got the feeling or heard they were getting a cut of drug proceeds . The place was obviously a drug dealer magnet and shit was going down but more so like any other bar rather then Owner approved dealing as that's a guarantee cop magnet and they had all sorts of OC guys and not just Italian. Guys smart enough not to be a part of that unless it was the Russians I guess. Feel free to elaborate.
The Jersey City one was a hang out for west side guys that were all popped in the garbage bust and Papa Smurf would go there , as well as Russian wise guys That were easy marks as they always had the Crystal bottles flowing . Heard they were actually involved in construction and used A lot of Polish workers that recently came here. Anyway the rat owner on one of the robberies had a shotgun placed into his back while he was on his knees Crying, that I know for a fact . With the boom in Jersey City construction that place must of had a ton of discussion in local garage and construction deals. Maybe that Was LE focus until the word was out in his talk show side racket.
