Executives at a nationwide hospitality company bribed a New York state auditor with free lap dances and lavish trips to Florida to try to avoid paying more than $8 million in taxes over more than a decade, according to the New York Attorney General’s Office.
The allegations come from an indictment unsealed on Tuesday against executives at RCI Hospitality Holdings, Inc., a publicly traded firm that owns and operates more than 60 clubs, sports bars, and restaurants across the country, including multiple venues in Manhattan.
