FacebookRecords suggest club kingpin has violent side
Ex-wives, ex-employee have sought protection in court from Steve Davidovici
Sun, Mar 16, 2008 (2 a.m.)
If Steve Davidovici is trying to find out who got angry enough to call the IRS on his Las Vegas nightclub operation, he will be making a long list.
The Las Vegas man at the center of the federal investigation at two Strip nightclubs has a history of violence against lovers, employees and club patrons, according to lawsuits and protective orders stretching back more than a decade. All the while, Davidovici, steeped in mystery, was building a nightlife empire — culminating with Pure, the most successful nightclub in America.
Known simply as “Stevie D.,” even to casino executives, Davidovici, 44, is a modern hustler whose meteoric rise in the Las Vegas club scene is legend among media that report on such things: an ex-prizefighter from Brooklyn who may or may not have fled New York to escape a Mafia debt, only to help birth the nightlife industry in Las Vegas. And, if Blender magazine is to be believed, his career stretches back to 1980s Manhattan, where, as a teenager, he hosted Brooke Shields’ 16th birthday party. Little of this has been proven, but Davidovici hasn’t made corrections to that legend.
He is typically media shy, and his outsized personality and explosive temper have kept those who would ask at bay. What is known — and undisputed — is Davidovici’s business acumen. He’s played a hand in every major nightclub here from the start, beginning with Club Rio in 1994.
His charm — one scenester described him as “straight outta ‘Goodfellas’” — has not only attracted celebrities such as Paris Hilton and Christina Aguilera, but has gotten them to invest in his clubs and restaurants. All of this has allowed Davidovici to attain the good life in 10 short years. In 1995, after a bitter divorce from his first wife, he was left with little more than a 1986 Nissan. (His wife got the couple’s 1986 Cadillac.) Ten years later, he was living in a $1.75 million mansion and driving a Ferrari.
The public face of Pure Management Group is his partner, Robert Frey, the stepson of prominent developer Irwin Molasky and a man with access to high echelons of Las Vegas society. But it was camera-shy Davidovici who was the brains of the operation.
“That company wouldn’t be where it is without Stevie,” one associate said.
“He is the catalyst for its success and everyone knows it.”
Davidovici, through his lawyer, declined an interview.
“He’s hardworking, energetic, gentlemanly and at the top of his profession,” said the lawyer, David Chesnoff.
Public records add to that portrait.
Michael Politz, a friend and the publisher of Food & Beverage magazine, says Davidovici has been unfairly portrayed as a violent thug by people who see a caricature of a man and do not know him well.
“He works 20 hours a day — this guy does not sleep,” he said. “This is a tough town. There’s a lot of guys out there who don’t want you to succeed.”
Davidovici married his first wife, Ayalivis, in Brooklyn, N.Y., in 1988, and the two had a daughter in 1990. But if he carved out a career as a prizefighter, the New York State Athletic Commission has no record of it. His father Radu, on the other hand, is listed in the online boxing registry boxrec.com as having fought once, in 1967 against a fighter named Ralph Marquez. Radu lost.
It’s unclear when or why Davidovici came to Las Vegas. Financial records show that more than $41,000 in civil judgments were levied against him from 1991 to 1993 while he maintained a Staten Island, N.Y., address.
After first listing a Nevada address in 1993, he and Ayalivis separated briefly because of domestic violence, according to Ayalivis’ divorce affidavit. The couple reconnected, but in April 1995 Ayalivis filed for a protective order, alleging he had threatened her life and told her, “If you go after my finances, I’ll kill you.” She claimed he had a history of violence, alleging that in an earlier incident he had choked her during an argument. In another altercation, she said, he hit her in the face, threw a television set and destroyed family photographs.
A protective order was granted, which also barred him from any contact with his daughter.
Davidovici quickly filed for divorce, which was granted. The couple agreed to share custody of their child.
On the professional side, his career was starting to take off. Club Rio, one of the first major casino nightclubs, was a hit with Davidovici at the helm. The club was a dramatic departure from the tacky, cheap-looking caves of years past, and under Davidovici’s bold leadership, the business exploded — astounding Rio executives and competitors.
He introduced bottle service, then a practice of high-end nightclubs the world over, and it wasn’t uncommon for the club to sell out of Cristal and Dom Perignon champagne.
Also, it was at the Rio that Davidovici got to know Frey, the cigar shop owner who would later become his business partner in Pure Management. Davidovici found love again, in bartender Joey Kasamis. The two had a son in 1996, and by 1997 he was running another successful club, Ra at Luxor. Though the two separated a year later, according to Kasamis, Davidovici continued to pursue her. She filed for a protective order against him in July 1998, claiming that since their split Davidovici had been threatening her, leaving “repulsive, vulgar” messages for her, visiting her work and waiting for her in parking lots, once hurting her arm with a car door.
Davidovici denied the allegations. That November, the couple reunited. But by October 1999, Kasamis filed for another protective order, claiming to have been beaten brutally.
According to her application, as the two argued Davidovici struck Kasamis in the back of the head, grabbed her by the throat, threw her on the floor and kicked her in the head.
A protective order was granted. Davidovici sought to dissolve the order and, failing that, a polygraph examination for both parties to test Kasamis’ credibility. He said she was using the protective order as leverage in their child custody battle.
In that case, Kasamis alleged the incident was the latest in a series of assaults dating to late June 1999, including his holding a butcher knife to her throat on Oct. 10 of that year, telling her “he would stick the knife through my neck but I wasn’t worth it.”
In a strange twist, Davidovici’s ex-wife, Ayalivis, supported him, saying in an affidavit that he had never abused her.
Police never charged Davidovici in any of the alleged incidents. He has since remarried.
In July 2000, a 21-year-old woman from Henderson died of an Ecstasy overdose after partying at C2K, the nightclub Davidovici was managing at the Venetian. The casino quickly shuttered the venue, and H&H, which leased the space from the Venetian, cut a deal with Davidovici’s company, Silver Hammer, to move out.
The parents of the woman sued the Venetian, H&H and Silver Hammer. The parties settled, but not before some details about the club operation emerged.
In a lawsuit filed on behalf of the victim’s parents, attorney E. Brent Bryson alleged that C2K management created an atmosphere that allowed illegal drug activity to flourish and did nothing to curtail it. Supervisors personally observed patrons in the club’s VIP room using Ecstasy and snorting cocaine, Bryson alleged. The lawsuit was resolved by a confidential settlement.
Despite the lawsuits and finger-pointing, Davidovici bounced back by summer 2001. He worked as a promoter at Blue Note Las Vegas, and helped open the Coyote Ugly bar at New York-New York, the first in what would become Pure Management’s large nightclub empire. The club was a big hit and was followed by several others, including Tangerine at Treasure Island and Pure at Caesars Palace.
Davidovici, associates say, knew how to create the right kind of buzz. He courted celebrities, paying them exorbitant appearance fees so customers could mix with them — for the right price. His clubs expertly manipulated supply and demand, charging as much as customers were willing to pay on any given day or hour.
The degree of power and influence Davidovici exercised was surprising, especially given that he was operating these cash-happy clubs just steps away from the highly regulated casino floors. Take, for instance, the case of Ira Kiener, a club patron who filed a civil suit against Pure, Caesars Palace and Davidovici after an altercation in 2005.
According to the suit, Kiener negotiated an “entry fee” with Davidovici at the door to cover himself and his party. But when they entered, Kiener said Davidovici excluded two people. When Kiener complained, he alleged that Davidovici “verbally and forcibly ejected” him from the premises. Kiener complained to Caesars management but was told the casino “could do nothing — because they did not own, manage or control” the nightclub.
While on his way back to his car, Kiener said, he had another encounter with Davidovici, who, accompanied by four bouncers, rushed him on the casino floor. They attempted to drag Kiener into the nightclub, he said. Security officers soon came, handcuffed him and handed Davidovici Kiener’s driver’s license. Davidovici disappeared into the nightclub and returned to hand back the license, the suit says.
“Now, I know where you live,” Davidovici told Kiener, the suit says.
Davidovici denies the allegations, but the incident fits with a description by the former associate. “This is not just a guy with a temper,” he said. “This is a violent man. There are people who are afraid to leave him.”
Just ask Greg Jarmolowich. He resigned as Pure’s director of operations in August 2007 and Davidovici threatened him with a knife, according to his application for a protective order. He also said he was approached by two Pure employees, one on each of two occasions. Jarmolowich alleges that both threatened him on behalf of Davidovici.
“They have all threatened me with bodily harm and suggested they could have me killed,” Jarmolowich wrote in his application. The protective order was granted. Both sides, however, will appear in court next month to discuss a possible dismissal, according to court records.

Someone should investigate closer and find that Jarmolowich was terminated for a knife assault incident at Tao Beach Club. Before you personally attack a well respected local, get your facts straight> This article is full of inaccurate information.
Everyone in Las Vegas knows Steve Davidovici is a NUTJOB AND HUGE LOSER... only NOW the casinos are finally catching on that he is a HUGE LIABILITY!
Only a coward like Steve Davidovici needs security and bouncers to fight and abuse unsatisfied customers, that is, when he's not abusing/hitting/kicking his ex-wives!
WHERE WAS CAESARS PRESIDENT GARY SELESNER? I'll TELL YOU WHERE! ON TRIPS IN THE FIJI ISLANDS WITH STEVIE AND ROBERT! I used to work at PURE. I used to work at the door. Why all of this attention to PURE! Put Selesner under the spotlight too! How can a Casino President sit there at our door night after night and turn a blind eye. Ill tell you why...cause he was on the take too! The media is missing the big story here
I think you are mistaken about the knife incident. Greg Jarmolowich pulled a knife on a security guard at Tao Beach after he was asked to leave after refusing to pay his bill. He denied it to the company until video surveillance showed him on camera doing as was alleged. then they had to terminate him. He is a vindictive person and you should get your facts straight before accusing the wrong party.
Everyone here in Las Vegas knows that Stevie D is the best at what he does. I used to work for him for many years back in the day and understand he is a drill sergeant when it comes to work…yet, that’s why his business all runs so strong. This town is just full of a bunch of jealous winning babies who can’t take the heat when it’s given. Anyway, what was the purpose of this article? You can write all the negative stuff you can find on public record 10 plus years ago but what does that have to do with anything. Who knows if any is true? You know how crazy ex's can be. Thats why they are called ex's! Let’s get some real news… never knew the newspaper had become a gossip Colum. Only in Vegas.
Its amazing that Las Vegas has a serious health crisis and other REAL news to be covering, and we are digging up dirt on prominent local businessmen. The SUN needs to investigate some real topics with real facts. Try digging up dirt on people who were quoted in this article. There will be much more interesting news on these scumbags. Get a life, and some ethics.
What goes around comes around. Call me a "winning baby" <sic - lol> if you must, but I'm gonna love watching this bug get stepped on.
I worked THE DOOR the night Ira Kiener was supposedly "mistreated." Kiener looked like and acted like a thug! He WAS asked to leave and was never threatened. In fact, Kiener was the only one I heard throwing threats around...
I don't know how much you can believe from Greg Jarmolowich about feeling threatened....the guy's scared of HIS OWN shadow!!!
This would make for a great Monday night movie of the week, but aside from that all I will say is somewhere it became a bad thing to be passionate AND successful!! I think this is trumped up crap from people too bored with their own lives and careers!
No one in the business works as hard as Steve and takes care of their people as well as he does! It's unfortunate you can put into print whatever you want, with no regard to the fact that it's based in lies told by disgruntled employees and people with an eye for fraudulent law suits!
We all know where these false allegations came from. You should consider investigating those two individuals before wrongfully accusing Pure Group ownership of their actions. Go back 5 years into those 2 guys careers and see how much dirt comes to the surface.
As reported by Norm in the Review Journal, the so called doorman make up to 10k per night in cash which they pass up up to 80 percent to the owners of the clubs, aka Steve and Robert, this goes on with all the other employees in the club, this ceaseless cash flow is what the Feds are now investigating.
The question for the "doorman" is do you want to declare all that cash for the past couple of years or do you want to rat out your bosses???????????
Since Brooklyn Steven has come a long way! Me knowing him the longest can say that Steven is & has always been a very dedicated and focused buisnessman and father! To Steven family is everything! Our PAST was no different than any other young marriage with stressful trials & tribulations neither one of us were perfect. And since then Steven and I have maintained a healthy and friendly relationship,and because of this relationship we have been able to successfully co-parent our daughter. Our past is exactly where it should be in the PAST! Hard to believe this is all the news you can find to blow out of context.
As a former security host who worked outside of Pure night club, I know what I’m talking about. Although I went back to school to finish up my business degree since, I can say that I was working the night Ira Kiener and his group of troublemakers came to the front of Pure. To say that they made arrangements with Mr. Davidovici is ludricious; he’s one of the company’s owners and would never arrange for strangers to get on the club’s guest list. The Kiener gang made arrangements through the Pure Management call center for 6-8 people to come into the club as guests, not as a table reservation, but as guests. But when Kiener and his cohorts came to the front of the door, there weren’t 6-8, there were more than twenty of them. Even so, we were going to allow the group inside. The problem arose when some of the group who were out of Dress Code were denied entrance. They started threatening us at the front door and some of them shoved a few staff members and tipped over one of the tables set up at the front of the club. Kiener, himself, walked past Mr. Davidovici and said I know where you live, I know where you work out, and I know what you drive. I got a bullet for you. Me and my boys will be waiting outside for you. Then Kiener raised up his hand as if he had a gun and pretended to shoot Mr. Davidovici. In this state, that’s a crime. How ironic that Kiener, who committed a crime while trying to be a tough guy, is now acting like a blood sucking parasite trying to feed off the deep pockets of Pure night club.
Change the P.O.V. for a second ..... the IRS is the real crook they are TAXING the SAME MONEY over and over .... money any casino employee receives as a tip 90% of the time came from a wage earner or otherwise tax paying citizen which correct me if Im wrong but has probably been taxed already ... just a thought..
Does the Las Vegas Sun always engage in Yellow Journalism or has its writing staff just found that joining in on the wolf pack attacks against Mr. Davidovici to be too tempting to resist? I’m not going to try to paint Mr. Davidovici as an angel; I’m sure he would be the first to agree that his temper isn’t one of his best qualities. But that could be said of many other high-powered, high-profile pioneers of the Las Vegas casino industry and entertainment scene such as Steve Wynn and Sheldon Adelson, both of whom have a history of fiery displays of tempers that have sent shudders and chills up and down the spines of hotel presidents and casino executives alike. Men with such high-powered personalities and extraordinary determination are a driven breed who build empires, create employment for large numbers of people and, at times, create enemies who wait in the gutter for these giants to stumble or fall. One thing the gutter rats don’t realize is that these giants do get up afterward, brush themselves off and move forward, leaving the rats to wallow in their own sewage.
As far as the knife wielding allegations are concerned, has anybody asked Greg J. what happened at Tao Beach? I think everybody would be interested to know that a drunken Greg J. pulled a knife on club employees one night during a melee started by Greg J. and members of his family. Because Mr. Davidovici didn’t condone that type of behavior, Mr. Jarmolowich was summarily released . Maybe the entire community needs a restraining against Greg J.
Why doesn’t the Las Vegas Sun check into the past public records of Mr. Kiener and Greg J? You’ll find that Kiener has filed frivolous lawsuits against night clubs in the past. They say that anybody can sue for anything; inmates can sue the state because the prison won’t serve them a second piece of cherry pie. Its ridiculous but that’s the down side of our tort system. Hence, today we have our government’s ongoing efforts to reform it. One thing a leech like Kiener knows is that businesses, even those who are completely innocent of any wrongdoing, are often tempted to settle out of court purely from a business stance, especially if its believed that it would cost more in legal fees to fight a wrongful, illegitimate claim than it would cost to give a small bag of money to a bandit. Too bad Kiener can’t be sued for telling fairy tales and trying to pickpocket Pure Management. Then there’s Greg J.; talk about a man with a checkered past. Check the public records and discover how many times he has visited our legal system because of his violent conduct, and has been a defendant facing criminal charges or has been named in civil suits because of violence against other people. When planning its next smear campaign of dubious intent and inconsequential substance against a prominent businessman of this city like Steve Davidovici, the Las Vegas Sun would be better suited doing a background check of the people it uses as its sources.
Isn't it interesting that the Las Vegas Sun was able to scrounge through the public records of Mr. Davidovici to reveal some moments of his life that happened nearly two decades ago. C'mon, give us a break, why not go through the police reports and court records of anybody and everybody who has had some difficulties in a past relationship or has gone through a divorce in their life. We can start with the Las Vegas Sun's owners, writers, and staff. But that wouldn't sell newspapers, would it? But go ahead, blindly write your stories by printing the heated words spoken between two people during a time of anger and heartbreak. Just hope that all the things you ever said to someone, or the words that someone alleges you said, aren't splashed all over the local newspaper someday. I think we can all agree that, when it comes to Domestic Abuse, nobody's violent actions should be condoned. But let's face it, there are many times when spouses or live-in partners will spice up what happened to bolster their case to the cops and the courts.
steve davidovici is the modern day version of nicky santoro, the character played by joe pesci in casino. you love him if you are part of the take and (literally) fear him to death if you are not. in the end, we all know what happens to people like that! while he has built his empire, so did hitler (which is how he runs things).
Hey, ivegamike and Road Warrior. I am sure you both have been in touch with the Nightclub's attorneys and have offered to give testimony under oath about Ira Kiener's actions that night. In fact, I assume you stood up and told the Metro Officer who arrived later that morning in response to Ira's call about what a thug he was. Funny, how the Metro Report on the incident makes no mention whatsoever about any Doorman or Security Host informing the Officer that Ira was being a "thug" and had threatened to shoot Mr. Davidovici. The appearance of the Metro Officer that morning, again in response to Ira's call, would have given you the opportunity to have Metro arrest Ira for the "crime" you contend he committed.
Now, "toast2u" where did you get your information that Ira Kiener has "filed frivolous lawsuits against nightclubs in the past"? Should you be sued for telling "fairy tales"?
Here is one bottom line: The FEDS don't waste their time chasing around people because they were "mean" or "jerks" to empoyees or girlfriends or ex-wifes or past patrons of a nightclub. They usually spend their time going after people who have done some truly bad things. This isn't 1940 where you could influence a Gov't official with a little juice and they would put the squeeze on whomever you wanted... there is a little more oversight preventing that. It looks like this person or people did some illegal stuff and now have to pay for it. The other sideline stuff is just gossip, which won't impact the FEDS' investigation. You get busted you pay the fine - big or small. You beat the rap, you are back in business. The FEDS know it's nothing personal, it's just business.
Sounds like Steve needs a chill pill or somebody to hit him upside the head.
Usually a bully needs some of his own medicine before he learns a lesson.
Maybe the Feds can take Steve down a notch or two or all the way down.
Not feeling too bad about that at all.
You people all simply have too much time on your hands. Anyone who's foolish enough to go and blow a bunch of money in one of these places is cracked. Sooner or later all these guys are swept away when the economy sours and the cash flow dries up.
Las Vegas is a nightclub town the people who are involved in the nightclub industry don't care about Stevie's past or anyone else's for that matter he just like the rest of the nightclub employers provide jobs and make money ... sorry for the upset people because they were turned down at the interview or didn't get the job because "it wasn't for them " life sucks find a different job .. don't Hate what u aren't !! if the situation doesn't involve you don't worry about it .. get a life !!
Eh. Las Vegas is very competitive in many arenas, and haters and jealous people will do and say anything to hurt others. I read very little here that is anything but hearsay, and it's irresponsible for a newspaper to contribute to such speculation.
1. All of you who left comments lambasting the Sun for this story and defending Stevie D. have either profited from business or personal relationships with him, so your own arguments are tainted by the cash in your hands.
2. Maybe if Stevie wouldn't hide behind his lawyer and actually tell his side of the story, this would have been more balanced. You know how you head off creating a persona that causes reactions such as this article and, um, IRS investigations? You act as an upfront, transparent executive, not a "media shy" mysterioso.
3. I've never personally met Stevie D., only dealt with him via publicists, and he seems to exhibit the same personality quirks other people of "power" (both real and imagined) in the nightlife/food & beverage industry do: An obsessive need to control their images to the point of appearing reclusive, or on the opposite extreme, publicly obnoxious. It's Vegas, baby.
4. Why is the Sun doing a story like this? It's timely and relevant in light of the IRS's investigation of PMG. And yes, Sun editors, I agree with the comments of a few folks above: You've opened the can of worms, you may as well follow-up this story with deeper investigations into the accusers and naysayers of Stevie quoted in your article, lest you appear vindictive and biased.
Please note:
I have been Steve's Friend in the last 20 years and unlike what pj_perez stated above never profited from business and only been in Pure once as a invited guest.I recently heard of Several
accusations was made by the media made me the subject
of prior rumors, after all the smoke clears everyone will see, the
allegations will be rejected. The event reported in the
media and Las Vegas Sun about his personal life never happened and the evidence presented to the
courts proved it never happened.Further discussion by me serves no purpose other
than to dignify accusations which have been repeatedly
investigated and rejected by every body, and court to
consider them. I will not further dignify them, i’m
just very sorry for any inconvenience that they may
have cased him and his family. He just like i have made milliners out of BUM'S and now they are all no were to be found.......Las Vegas knows how to take care of it's owen.
Its like reading a tabloid magazine! I never read the local newspaper because of stories like this. I am a former employee of PMG. I worked for them for close to 5 years at 2 properties. I must say that this story was very entertaining... to say the least. I know Stevie D is far from angelic and has a bad rep...but some of these accusations are alittle far fetched!!! Isn't there anything better going on in the world than to glamourize Stevie D's marital mishaps and heresay from a patron who was out of dresscode! Not to mention the whole Greg J bit. This is ridiculous!!!!!!! He pulled a knife on Tao Beach employees after they tried to remove him, his sister and her boyfriend (All PMG employees at the time)because they started a fight at the bar!! Now he is butt hurt because they all got fired and Steve wouldn't give him his job back. Hey... then he turns PMG into the IRS. Which is a joke becuase if Robert and Steve were making all this money then so were Greg and Frank!!!!
And now They are at Prive where he has a brand new female staff to sleep with!!!! Quote to live by "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw rocks!"
We all know Greg J is an idiot. Stevie created his own Frankenstein, and if some of you are right was taken down by his own creation. However, honestly I DONT THINK IT WAS HIM WHO TURNED IN PMG TO THE IRS. That would be the obvious choice since Greg is such a female anatomy (they wont let me type the real word here) I think it was PMG investors. They were audited before by their investors, who doubted where the money was going. In fact I will go out on a limb here and guess it was Doc (all of you who know who Doc is know who I am referring to) I dont want to blog his last name since he is a prominant local business man. But, that is my vote. Lastly, I always believe you should treat people on the way up how you want to be treated on the way down. It's sad to see this outpour against Stevie, but even sadder is it is justly deserved. From Bling Bling to Sing Sing you cant out run the feds.
one last thing STAY TRUE is right. Greg J and Frank made tons of cash. So it wouldnt make sense to turn in their former bosses as they would be implicating themselves. Greg J probably raked in $800,000+ last year with PMG. This is from Salary, Bonuses for hitting profit goals, and tip outs from the door. So why would he be the whistle blower unless the IRS offers immunity to rats. Ive heard that the IRS gives up to 30% of what they recover to a whistle blower. So, if true whoever turned PMG in could make millions. Also, what kind of idiot who makes close to $1 million dollars a year pulls a knife on people at TAO? Obviously someone drunk with power, and missing a few IQ points. Just proves no matter how much money you have you cant buy class or a brain. The fact that PRIVE' hired the tard to work for them proves they arent that smart either. Frank and Greg are Dumb and Dumber
Let's be realistic and rational about the facts;
Fact #1:
Steve Davidovici is a "wife beater". This fact is backed by the two legal documents (divorce
affidavit and protective order) submitted by his ex-wife Ayalivis. Not to mention the protective order by his ex-girlfriend.
Fact #2:
Steve Davidovici is a low-class thug dressed in a nice suit. To be identified with adjectives such as "refined", "polished", and "cultivated" you can NOT demonstrate the type of uncivilized behavior that this man has displayed.
Fact #3:
Yes, Davidovic has become what he has always dreamt of becoming; a "goodfella"...........But
we all know what ends up happening to goodfellas.
Fact #4:
Yes, Davidovic has a small, immature group of followers/employees that are to eager to defend his corrupt image. But these young devotees don't know much about the law.....except that
they can't get caught with Ectasy or drinking and driving.
Fact #5:
Just like his father Radu Davidovici; Steve doesn't know how to physically fight and win! That is not the area a thug wants to be weak. At least his father knew when to hang up the boxing gloves. Standing a mere 4'3" Steve needs all the bouncers he can get to fight his fights.
In the end, regardless of the turn out we all know what Davidovici is all about...
people can say what they want about all parties involved. i used to work there. alot of money cam through but not everyone got a cut of it. and the irs thing was coming but got expedited due to other federal agents bad experience. the management knew what they wanted and werent going to baby people to get it. however it is like the old saying...its not what you know its who you know.
its all politics with pmg.......
its all about the money.
on the other hand i have talked to people that have been all over and the enjoy prive. they want to go to a club and have fun not be told to move all night long.
either way if you dont like what they are doing you dont need to go there!
