Who cares? It’s her money. I hope she didn’t pay a dime to the thieves in DC.

Based on your pic, the odds on my post at #18 just improved a bit...

Its never a good idea to have too much cash laying around - it could be stolen. Especially by the Government.

Yeah, better to pay it into a bank account, where the govt. can't get its hands on it. /s

Reminds me of the old joke of the hooker that got caught with $330.01.

The cop asks her, who gave you the penny?

She says “all of them”

That’s about 335 bucks a day based on 200/yr and 15 yrs.

That's actually not far from the average in the UK:

Lap dancers not just pretty faces

An average stripper takes home £232 per shift — or £48,000 a year — after paying commission and fees to the club where they work.

At the current exchange rate, that's $308.

$67K a year for 15 years. IRS is interested?

We all know that. My point was that the police use dog alerts to manufacture probable cause.

I’m not saying the cops had a right to take the money, but I have trouble believing this money was saved up after 15 years.

That's $67,000 per year to save $1mil in 15 years. She would have to be earning close to six figures to be able to have enough to live off of and still have that much left over. She'd also have to be very disciplined.

Not impossible, but it seems unlikely. OTOH, unless the cops can prove that the money was illegally obtained, then she's entitled to get it back.

They never should’ve been able to seize her cash in the first place. And as for her paying taxes, I hope she paid squat. The federal government and local governments to become Nothing more than robber barons.

Base on your excellent research, I’m declaring her story legit.

“...335 bucks a day ...”

That’s easily achievable for a young (or cougarish) lady with all the right parts in all the right places...and the willingness to show an appreciative clientele congregating in dark, smoky, alcohol-flooded, fantasy-induced...uh...meeting rooms.

Heck...I’ve dripped more than that on one lap dance ;-)

Thats only about 67,000 a year, easily within the range of a stripper who doesn’t blow her tips on drugs or taxes.

A beautiful dancer in a nice club can easily clear $500-1,000 or more per night. Figure five days a week with four to five weeks off a year with negligible taxes on undeclared income (who cares, wages are not gain), and a million is easy to figure over 15 years.

Funny how if this happened to Sarah Palin we’d be calling for heads to roll, but since this woman is a lowly pole-dancer, some are tacitly suggesting the IRS perform a financial cavity search on her.

How much of the million in tips she took in did she pay taxes on?

Sorry. I should have realized that ABC "DEATH TO GEORGE ZIMMERMAN!!!" News would be relatively fact-free:

U.S. District Judge Joseph Bataillon said in an opinion that government lawyers failed to prove the money was connected to illegal drugs and that fingerprints on the bags containing the money belonged to Mishra and her husband, and that Mishra showed she had claimed the earnings on state & federal income tax returns, and that the Mishras had cooperated by provided details of the agreement they had to buy a stake in a New Jersey nightclub.

Nebraska can appeal, so I'll bet they'll still try to steal it that way.

I dated a stripper in 1982. She pulled down an average of $500.00 per shift in 1982. After buying our drinks and paying the club. Strippers pay to use the floor.
