Addendum to Eddie Merckx previous post...
"The whole tone of the place seems not quite right, like there's something going on that you're not supposed to know about."
You have it right Eddie, here is why.
Part 1...
Any club like this has to give something to the "big boys". Instead of directly paying the mob, the security job and bouncer jobs are given mostly to the mafia's little guys. Hence their overly-aggressiveness.
This club is vampiristic of its customers out of necessity.
It's manager/owner, Paul Coppa, is only a strawman owner. As a club that was making 2 million dollars + a year was sold to him for $125,000 through the efforts of the club's lawyer, Steve Schaeffer (who had to illegally backdate sale documents in order to prevent confiscation of club by authorities prosecuting the club's real owner).
It's original and present "hidden" owner, Lawrence (Larry) La Spina had to do this because he was going to prison for bribery and stealing 15 million + dollars from the IBM company. These ill gotten gains are what allowed him to buy the club, originally Stringfellows, and fix it up as Ten's in the first place. So IBM and the IRS (unpaid taxes) would be grabbing this club as an asset, particularly seeing how they each have a judgment against Larry La Spina for over 1million + dollars each. This is why the strawman sale had to take place around year 2000. (try Google search...Laspina and IBM...its all there.)
This meant lots of legal fees for the criminal court case. As La Spina had hired Ron Kuby and a few other high priced attorneys to try to keep him out of jail. Most of that money was club profits, which results in more aggressive tactics to squeeze the customer.
La Spina spent six and a half years in prison and was just released late 2008. So now he will be improving the operations over the monkey brain that does now. Whether he will have the club resold back to himself remains to be seen.
