The state paid (or overpaid) and now the state owns some kinky equipment. I find it amusing.

1.8 mil seems low to me.  But I guess it was an offer they couldn't refuse.

It wouldn't matter what "fixtures" were left behind, the state's interest is in the property.

At any rate,  deals like this happen all the time. 

<That little trivia fact about the squid being left in that murdered mobster's car cracked me up.  I wonder if his widow made fried calamari out of it.>

You think thats funny, you should check out some of the website names that the government legaly owns due to various court cases .....

Also reminds me that about 10 years back or so, a strip club owner in StLouis was busted on tax fraud. The IRS took the club and decided to keep it open untill they had earned back enough money to cover the cost of owed back-taxes ...... Government sponcered lapdances anybody? :)

Politicians would think twice about abusing their privileges like some petulent child if they knew a date with a spanking bench was the consequence. Then again some are probably already into it. All the same it would have been interesting to have offered our dear late comptroller the choice between resigning or submitting to a long and generous session of CBT.

Or maybe Meadow or Charmaine Bucco?  The possibilities....

Even the Noose closed a clothing toy store . DV8 was a bummer loss for me .Any Party The Barroness throws is a great one .. I was in NYC 2-3 times or more a year  just for the  clubs and shopping and events back then .. yeah those were the days .

Just another, last business opportunity to squeeze cash out, and I think the VV had some fun with it. The article is tongue in cheek and it's pretty apparent the editorial staff were snickering. Probably at the worried movie star who wasn't named!
