Who is Club Owner Jacques Chrysochoos?
Taken from a cached msnbc search engine page:
Jacques Chrysochoos, owner of Howl at the Moon and Hustler bars
on Bourbon Street, said his clubs need about $1.5 million a month
in revenue to remain profitable. That means about a million visitors
a month. "We're ready. We can reopen. But who is going to come?"
Chrysochoos said.
Is Jacques a partner of Larry Flynt and Harry Mohney in their
Hustler club ventures (10/19/03 article)?
Chrysochoos
barred from SEC for "outside activities," 5/21/04:
El Masri's Atlanta-based attorney, Hassan Elkhalil, said El Masri
complained about Chrysochoos to the National Association of Securities
Dealers. That led the NASD to evidence that Chrysochoos participated
in outside business activities without notifying Shields & Co.
Among the complaints was one that he raised $1.3-million from
investors in 2000 in private securities transactions.

Paul Bilzarian, Ernie Haire III & the FBI, 9/4/05:
Chrysochoos, 34, is a businessman who operates Louisiana nightclubs
and restaurants and is starting a Tampa mortgage brokerage company.
He resides in a $1.07-million Harbour Island home and enjoys an
$854,900 retreat on Clearwater Beach and a $850,000 Sunseeker
Predator yacht.
A former securities broker, Chrysochoos was disbarred by the
National Association of Securities dealers two years ago after
failing to notify his firm of outside business investments in
New Orleans clubs like Ragin' Rooster and Howl at the Moon.
Chrysochoos was left wondering last week just what remains of
his New Orleans ventures after Hurricane Katrina.
"We have probably 400 employees in New Orleans," he said. "And
90 percent of them don't have homes anymore."
