FJ Paso Times Friday, Marcft 23. 1990 club owner pleads innocent in money scheme By Catherine Lazorko El Paso Times Nail 47, of Las Cruces on charges of conspiring to hide an $85,000 down payment on the Lamplighter II in Las Cruces by making deposits of less than $10,000 at a time at Sunwest Bank of Las Cruces. Banks are required to report cash transactions of more than $10,000 to prevent money laundering. Nail sold the topless dancing club on Highway 70 East to Mcintosh for $185,000. Nail owns the Adult Toy Factory a classic-car business next to Lamplighter II.

The club, which opened in July featuring topless dancers, was closed last month after the IRS seized the property. Nail is charged with four counts of illegally structuring the sale and one count of conspiracy. Mcintosh is charged with one count of conspiracy. Each count carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison. U.S.

Attorney William Lutz told The Associated Press that Mcintosh, using the name of Tony De Santio, paid Nail $26,000 in June and requested that the money be deposited in increments of less than $10,000. Nail allegedly did so until his wife, who is a former bank officer, along with his accountant and another bank officer, persuaded him to deposit $46,000 of the cash at one time and complete the necessary paperwork. But Lutz said the money initially was banked in two payments of $9,000 each and one payment of $6,000, while $2,000 was held out by the seller. Both men were arrested Wednesday night. Mcintosh was released on $10,000 bond after appearing Wednesday before U.S.

Magistrate Philip Cole; Nail was released on his own recognizance. At Thursday's arraignment, the government asked U.S. Magistrate John Darden to raise Mcintosh's bond or require electronic monitoring of Mcintosh, but Darden refused. Darden told Mcintosh not to travel out of the country, and particularly not to use his Mexican driver's license to travel in Mexico. The same instructions were given to Nail.

Census Continued from IB and collecting surveys for the count take four formats and generally depend on where households are located. People living in large or medium-sized cities will receive a form in the mail and must send it back by April 1. People living in small towns, rural communities or on Indian pueblos or reservations can expect a visit from a census worker at some point before Census Day, either to deliver or retrieve forms or to ask the survey questions on the spot. People who don't return the surveys or who fail to answer all questions will receive a telephone call from a census worker and a follow-up visit, said W.A.

Anderson, district manager in Albuquerque. The Census Bureau has set up a computerized system that will enable it to place controls on each questionnaire the minute it arrives, earmarking each for editing or follow-up action, and finally sending the form to computers for extracting data. People who have trouble trying to fill out the forms can get help by calling a toll free number listed on the questionnaire. Spanish-speaking people who can read the English-printed surveys are asked to call a toll-free number, also listed on the questionnaire, and request a form printed in Spanish. Census answers are confidential and the law forbids any agency from obtaining information that shows how anyone answered.

Census Bureau employees take an oath to keep individual answers confidential and census records are held confidential for 72 years.
