Will new information put Rizzolo back in prison?
Or will a racketeer, an ex-parking valet, and a porn star make a U.S. Attorney and Federal Judge look like meat heads?

LAS VEGAS - Based on a series of startling revelations and the convicted racketeer's own words in a deposition, Rick Rizzolo may now face an increased chance of having his parole revoked.

Two years before the federal government shut down Rizzolo's former strip club the Crazy Horse Too, he entered into plea negotiations with United States Attorney for Nevada Daniel Bogden. In exchange for a shortened prison sentence Rizzolo agreed to sell his strip club and pay over $27 million dollars in debts including $9 million to beating victim Kirk Henry, and over $4 million to the IRS. Since Rizzolo was released from prison in April 2008, he has made U.S. Attorney Bogden and the Nevada Department of Parole and Probation look like meat heads by refusing to pay one dime of his obligations, and by cleverly hiding his fortune off shore so it can't be frozen or seized.

In 2008, Rizzolo's god son and former Crazy Horse Too parking valet Rick Belcastro miraculously came up with over ten million dollars to build one of Vegas' most lavish gentleman's clubs named "Badda Bing." Since then, many have held suspicion that Rizzolo has hidden ownership in the strip club. This suspicion is now being bolstered by newly surfaced information from a women who claims to be Rick Rizzolo's biological daughter, and if there's truth in her allegation, Rizzolo is in serious violation of the conditions of his supervised release.

"As part of Rizzolo’s conditions of supervised release and pursuant to his plea agreement, Rizzolo is not permitted to own or operate or have any involvement with any strip clubs or similar businesses involved in pornography or erotic entertainment or media in the United States and its territories for the rest of his life."- Department of Justice press release, January 23, 2007.

"My biological father Rick Rizzolo owns a strip club in Las Vegas Badda BIng," stated Erika Lockett, 33, on her MySpace page.

"...my dad has watched his strip club go down in the dumps that they took away from him, and he rebuilt a new club and it's going good from what I understand and what I hear," stated Lockett in her YouTube video.

At 3:23 seconds into the following (not X-Rated video), Ms. Lockett alleges that her "dad rebuilt a new club," inferring this occurred since he was released from prison -- a blatent violation of his plea agreement. In earlier posts, she named Badda Bing as that strip club.

In her MySpace photo gallery (926 photos - not X-Rated), Ms. Lockett shares a number of photos of Rick Rizzolo including one showing Buffalo Jim Barrier and me outside the Las Vegas Federal Courthouse, along with several news articles about the Crazy Horse Too.

Though intriguing, Ms. Lockett's allegations have not yet been verified.

Long after witnesses began reporting that Rizzolo was living a life unlike any other parolee, attorneys for Kirk Henry on September 9, 2010 filed a strongly worded MOTION in federal court asking that Rizzolo's supervised release be either revoked, or extended past its April 2011 expiration.

At the time the Motion was filed, Henry's attorneys had no knowledge of Erika Lockett or her allegation that Rizzolo has gone back into the strip club business.

Henry's MOTION resulted in the following Federal Court ORDER:

Kirk and Amy Henry's Motion states: "Rick Rizzolo is a convicted felon on supervised release who owes millions of dollars in restitution to the victims of his crimes. Nonetheless, he was allowed (emphasis added) to engage in massive financial transactions for his own benefit, at the expense of his victims, despite the fact that he is expressly prohibited from doing so under his conditions of supervised release. Incredibly, Rick Rizzolo even had the audacity not to file a tax return in 2008 or 2009 because he 'didn't make any money.' "

"Simply put, Rick Rizzolo does not lead the life of an ex-convict who owes millions of dollars to the Henrys and the Government. Indeed, by effectively disregarding his restitution obligations and conditions of supervised release without consequence (emphasis added), Rick Rizzolo has been allowed (emphasis added) to live as if his transgressions over the past decade never occurred. The following details of Rick Rizzolo's post-release behavior demonstrate a stunning lack of oversight (emphasis added) into his behavior along with a complete failure to enforce the penalties (emphasis added) imposed on him as a result of his criminal conviction."

"He never disclosed any of the subsequent transactions to his probation officer even though he was ordered to do so. In addition, Rick Rizzolo never disclosed any of these transactions to the Internal Revenue Service. More importantly, Rick Rizzolo did not attempt to use this vast sum of money to meet his restitution obligations to the Henrys."

"...he has also ignored the express strictures governing his supervised release and the Department of Parole and Probation is either unwilling or powerless (emphasis added) to do anything about it " "Nevertheless, the Government has taken no action to enforce Rick Rizzolo's conditions of supervised release (emphasis added) pertaining to the consummation of financial transactions."

The Motion inspired the following local news coverage:

JOHN L. SMITH: Motion paints a picture of Rizzolo thumbing his nose at justice: Meanwhile, Rizzolo has lived lavishly, neglecting to fulfill the conditions of his parole and failing to find work. Court documents suggest Rizzolo doesn't have trouble paying his party debts, just his societal ones.

On October 1, 2010, U.S. Attorney Daniel Bogden filed a 4 page RESPONSE to Judge Pro's Order:

"In the instant case, the Government has no opposition to the Court initiating supervised release revocation proceedings based on information and materials contained in the Henrys' filing. The Government is still reviewing these materials to determine what action it believes it should take in regard to this matter, in particular in light of the Henrys' August 2010 deposition of defendant Rizzolo. Based on information in the Henrys' filing, the Henrys' allegations, if found accurate, would appear to serve as a basis for revoking or extending defendant Rizzolo's supervised release."

(Rick Rizzolo's August 17 & 18, 2010 DEPOSITION: Pg. 1-48, Pg. 49-100, Pg. 103-170, Pg. 173-256, Pg. 257-311 )

If Judge Pro revokes Rizzolo's parole and schedules a date for him to return to prison, it's suggested that the judge also seize Rizzolo's passport in the interim.

Meanwhile, the question remains as to whether Rick Rizzolo is the owner of Badda Bing as alleged by Ericka Lockett and others.

Perhaps the one to ask is Rizzolo's former parking valet who is the proclaimed owner of Badda Bing. (The Nevada Secretary of State lists an LLC as the owner, so no persons need be named under Nevada statute.)

a person got the money to singularly build a multi-million dollar strip club.

The ball is now in Judge Pro's hands. With the reserved blessings of the U.S. Attorney, Judge Pro must now decide whether to apply the court's authority to force Rick and Lisa Rizzolo to repatriate the millions they stashed off shore, or put Rick back in prison until he does. There is new case law that says the court can imprison persons who willfully evade paying court ordered obligations by putting their ill-gained riches in off shore accounts.

In her video (at 3:23), Erika Lockett lists the two people who inspire her most as "my dad Rick Rizzolo and Dennis Rodman."  I hope Rizzolo mans up to pay his financial obligations so he doesn't blow his image with his alleged biological daughter.
