You were paying the strippers? I haven't heard of that in years. Last girls I saw get paid by the club were my 2nd and 3rd wives (they were both feature dancers and traveled the world)
Other than that every club I know of in the U.S. uses the "tip out" scam to force the girls to pay to work. Here in Vegas it's currently $75 a night UP FRONT that a stripper has to pay out to the house mom the minute they walk in the door before they are allowed on the floor.
I have never heard of the IRS coming after strippers (and I was married to 2 and lived with 2 that were all BIG money makers) because it's a cash business. I guess there are exceptions such as you are describing but I'm not sure how the IRS even knew those girls existed or were working at your club.
