Julie was warned over and over regarding the eminent raid on the business.  She was shown the statutes regarding promotion, solicitation, tax evasion, money-laundering, prostitution etc but chose to ignore all the above warnings.
Her security was lacking the past year except during the convention.  One of her locations was directly across from a school, so any narcs found increases the charges, in addition the schools had surviellence cameras outside to protect the religious nature of the school.
She knew the tenants in the West 72 building were up in arms because the elevator was always being drawn up to the penthouse and forcing the to wait for 10 mins while the doors were being held during the chat times outside the door since she had everything on that floor.
The minor seems to have been the excuse that LE needed to get the warrants.
She was playing with the unlimited resources of the Feds Treasury CID unit in prosecution regrding tax and money laundering charges.
Ever since 9/11 any loose cash floating around in those large sums draws attention since it can be funneled to terrosist organizations.  Even your local mom and pop corner bodega grocery is being watched for coupon fraud and not stocking the vl of merchandise that they are redeeming in coupons (they steal the coupon sections in the Sundays newspapers and redeem them themselves -60 mins had a report on this-amounts to about an extra 1000-1500 p/week in cash that is funnelled-multiply that by 2 stores on every block and we are talking about millions.
Unreported income, failure to pay taxes will get you everytime-ask Meyer Lansky, Dillinger, Al Capone, they all were taaken down by the tax man.
As the movie Wall Street once said- Greed is Good- but anything that tastes so good must be taken in moderation so that we are around to eat tomorrow. (Martha Stewart should have learned that by now-greed over $65K got her a multi-million dollar legal bill and 5 months, when if she just held on like all grandmas do or taken her loss like a man she would be ahead today without a jail record). Lets see how naive and dumb the female population of America is when they rally around her when she is out-all the stars will like Trump (who is just a whore nd will be putting her on the last live episode of Apprentice for the ratings boost-then he was always a whore- promoting his wedding for a profit and attention-selling the rights, getting the rings for free for promotion, gown etc and then gets to write off the property as a business expense) who probably does the same but has not been caught yet.
JULIE SORRY FOR YOUR TROUBLES BUT YOU WERE WARNED AND MISSED LUNCH TWICE TO HEAR IT YOURSELF BUT INSTEAD A;LLOWED LEO TO TRANSLATE-HOPE YOU TRUSTED LEO ENOUGH TO DO 12 YEARS FOR ALL THE ABOVE COUNTS.  BYE BYE.
