Porn king Harry Mohney, founder of Déjà Vu Consulting, a national strip club chain, plays his trial role in the wings. He spent three years in prison for evading over $14 million in taxes amid allegations of money laundering and mob connections.

Déjà Vu Consulting, Inc.s President Jim St. John, aide Joe Hall, and consultant Chris Jackson also took the stand against Riddle Jan. 28. St. John and Hall testified they met with Riddle to obtain Council approval of a license transfer from the Zoo bar in downtown Detroit to their proposed strip club, and expressed shock at an alleged bribery attempt.

Chris Jackson, of Jackson Consulting, Inc., corroborated the strip club operators testimony, saying he met with Riddle and gave him bribes, which Riddles attorneys have said were consulting fees. Jackson said he continued to give Riddle money on his own even after the license transfer was voted down by the council majority, including Conyers.

Patsy Hamaker filed a lawsuit against The Furnace in 2007 after they had failed to stop her from driving home after she had participated in on-the-job drinking.
On Oct. 17, 2007, “Tessa” (Hamaker’s stage name) drank enough to bring her blood alcohol level to more than three times the legal limit. She drove home that night and was involved in a car accident on the interstate that resulted in injuries including a broken back and broken nose.

Members of Sex Trade Advocacy and Research (STAR) in Toronto, Canada, published a report describing the work environment of strip clubs as very dangerous.
