Federal snitch, colleagues sentenced for torching strip club

Harold “Bit” Thrower had been helping federal agents make cases for years when he found himself in a fix two years ago. This time, agents had turned the tables on him, accusing the strip club manager of torching a rival club after infesting it with roaches and rats couldn’t shut it down.

In late 2006, Thrower became furious that his boss’s strip club, Platinum 21, was losing clientele — and big money — to glitzy Club Onyx,  nearby newcomer on Cheshire Bridge Road that began hosting splashy parties for rappers like Uncle Luke and T.I.

In years past, Thrower had helped federal authorities obtain convictions against Mark Beebe, a one-time candidate for Forsyth County sheriff who was caught on FBI videotape accepting bribes, and Mark Lance, a former Atlanta Police captain accused of taking bribes to help strip club employees with background problems.
