    Heard a few minutes ago that the FBI and IRS raided the Twin Liquors main warehouse.

    Yeah, my google returned that. Just wondered if anyone had any additional info.


    Degbert hasn't been around in a long while, but he might have some info.

    First the scooter store, now this. Probably not gonna work out in Twin Liquors favor.

    The IRS... TABC... and FBI. That sounds like a fun crowd.

    Doesn't look like there's much info right now.

    "Media folks with TABC are asking for permission to tell KVUE whether Twin Liquors has had any violations lately." - KVUE tweet

    No idea what this means, since the original blurb says the issue has to do with money.

    Meh, knowing Twin, their entire BA beer collection could fit in the back of a Civic.

    The FBI did the same type of thing at the Scooter Store. They send everyone home and started loading up files and computers. Apparently they got busted for medicare fraud or something like that.

    Might be related to the yassine case earlier this year. Twin supplies liquor to most of those bars

    I heard that two locations were raided, not sure about the reason.

    Felony Conspiracy to Commit Copyright Infringement. Anti Hoarding would be entertaining though.

    I liked Twin's official response...
    I agree with Phoenix2443... this is regarding the Yassine case. I bet some nefarious shit was going on between these two. They had to be the largest of Twin's clients downtown.

    They've been hoarding an entire palette of Whiskey Rodeo, the feds finally got "fed" up with it.
