In an unprecedented show of force, Denver licensing officials this week moved to revoke the operating permit for the Diamond Cabaret strip club over allegations of rampant wage theft, retaliation and noncompliance with city orders.
The city’s Department of Excise and Licenses sent the adult venue an “order to show cause” on Wednesday, giving the business’ owners a chance to tell regulators next month why they shouldn’t have their license suspended or revoked.
This is the first time Denver has taken disciplinary action to revoke a business license as a result of a wage theft investigation, city officials said.
