NYC Poker Room armed robbery

[dstyle]

so, as it's been pointed out in another thread, an New York City poker room in lower Manhattan was robbed late last night. Don't want to say too much about it, I'm sure other people who were there post on this board also, so they can chime in if they would like.

Anyhow, I was curious as to speculation about this particular that was going on in the other thread. I have heard a variety of things at the club, about whether it is mob-tied, or the reason it had been running so long was a permit it had attained long ago (that is no longer being sold). They DO have fantastic pasta there. Also, the area used to be a BIG mob area (10-15 years ago). Just thought that if the club had mob ties, it wouldn't have gotten robbed.
