Rick's Cabaret exotic dancer (aka stripper) didn't report $80,000 in tips, charges say

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.

Currency Transaction Report (CTR)

A currency transaction report (CTR) is a report that U.S. financial institutions are required to file for each deposit, withdrawal, exchange of currency, or other payment or transfer, by, through, or to the financial institution which involves a transaction in currency of more than $10,000. Used in this context, currency means the coin and/or paper money of any country that is designated as legal tender by the country of issuance. Currency also includes U.S. silver certificates, U.S. notes, Federal Reserve notes and official foreign bank notes.

Explain to her the relationship between advertising revenue, using the word stripper in the title, then not adding a picture of said stripper.

Did the Department of Revenue investegators spend months at the strip joint to make an estimate of how much the typical stripper got in an hour? "It's not a grope if you are auditing the G-string."

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).

I'd be offended if only everything you wrote weren't entirely true.

Thats my point. If you go down to the local casino and hit it big on the craps table it is unreported because it is a board game and you get paid in cash if you desire. Don’t come home and deposit that cash in your bank.
