WM: Who is this "we?" The Utopia East prostitution sauna was closed on September 11, 2003--last week. The cops came and boarded the joint and took the privacy metal out of the front fence. The next day we had a big party at the gas station next door. The sauna pimp came to the party and laid a Korean curse on CCP/SAFE and the county attorney, called one of our number a drug dealer, and generally acted the fool. It took ten years and sheer luck and persistence on the part of the polices to get this wart shut down for good." We closed the saunas because they ddint have the kind of business we wanted. We don't have any of the porn theaters anymore because Ferris Alexander was NOT our model of a "good businessman".
One more to go on Lake St.
WM: Alexnder was shut down under the RICO Act (Racketeering Influences and Corrupt Organizations). Several of his buildings were confiscated and boucoup fines were levied. That happened as a result of pressure from then CM Sharon Sayles Belton.And wasn't Ferris Alexander subjected to an Al Capone prosecution? Didn't they get him for tax-evasion?
