Federal snitch and colleagues to be sentenced for torching strip club
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Harold “Bit” Thrower had been helping federal agents make cases for years when he found himself in a fix in late 2006.
At the time, Thrower was corporate manager of Platinum 21, a strip club that was losing clientele — and big money — to the glitzy new Club Onyx not far away on Cheshire Bridge Road. Club Onyx, hosting parties for rappers Uncle Luke and T.I., saw its business flourish. Meanwhile, Platinum 21’s revenues tanked.
“It was like a single-wide trailer competing with the Taj Mahal,” Thrower testified at trial earlier this year.
Thrower ordered Boyd Smith, Platinum 21’s general manager, to do something about it. Smith turned to Sandyo Dyson, a former Marine in charge of Platinum 21’s security.
