Rick's Cabaret exotic dancer (aka stripper) didn't report $80,000 in tips, charges say
Minneapolis StarTribune (aka The Red Star) ^ | 1/09/09 | Lora Pabst - Staff Reporter

A former exotic dancer who allegedly made about $80,000 in tips during one year is now facing multiple felony charges for failing to report the money as income.

Stephanie Antes, 28, of Albertville, is charged with five felony counts and one gross misdemeanor count of failing to file and pay income taxes and filing a false income tax return, according to the Minnesota Department of Revenue.

Antes worked as an exotic dancer and waitress at Rick's Cabaret in Minneapolis between 2004 and 2006. A tipster called the Department of Revenue to report that Antes had made around $80,000 per year in tips that she didn't report.

According to the criminal charges, her bank statements showed that she deposited $27,000 in 2004 and $76,000 in 2005, exceeding the income amounts she reported for those years by thousands of dollars.

She also received a large state refund in 2005 because she claimed both of her children as dependents, even though their father also claimed them.

Antes did not return calls for comment, but according to her MySpace page, she graduated from North Hennepin Community College with a degree in nursing in 2005.

Fair Tax, don’t cheat the IRS and don’t deposit money in the bank you don’t plan on claiming.

Well, where is IRS’ proof beyond an anyonymous “tip”???

If they can’t produce any, she should sue THEM. Bloodsuckers they are.

That’s a heck of a lot of 1 and 5 dollar bills. I would demand a recount (unless of course the money has already been Washed)

‘A tipster called the Department of Revenue to report that Antes had made around $80,000 per year in tips that she didn’t report. ‘

Either the father of her kids, or a former boyfriend did this.

Second comment: Taxing tips was a bad idea when first conceived, and its still a bad idea.

Third comment...she must be SMOKING HOT.

If she wants to commit fraud and not only get away with it but be rewarded with praise, perks, privilege and power she should have run for office. Given this is Minnesota all she would have to do in order to win is dress up in a clown suit, expose herself now and then (she already has this one down pat) and treat the voters as if most of them are slightly retarded children (which they are).

Either that or marry one who has already made the effort and now resides for life suckling at the public teat while participating in the massive shake-down racket that is modern governance.
