Default Re: legal advise for illigal club.

[ QUOTE ]
If you have not been raided, you may avoid being raided. This sounds like the precursor to a protection squeeze, though. If you are worried about getting raided, you should suspend the game and only tell a few people. Then, see who shows up.

Alternatively, can you run a game with no money present? That way, there is nothing of real value for the cops to seize. Also, how would they prove that the game was for moeny? Of course, the trust issues and settlement issues are there.

gambling itself is legal in nyc as long as rake is not taken from the pot itself. so most clubs including mine, charge time to run around the legality of it. if im being squeezed ill just move shop. but the biggest concern is that i have a cover business that generates significant income. will that other business, be in danger? can they sieze both business?
