In records provided to the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board, Topos indicated the club earned $24k from 34 small games of chance during June and July, according to police documents.Reconstructed financial records, however, showed that 46 games were in circulation during the audited period, which should have earned the club around $34k, police said.

Instead, cash payments for the skill machines was taken by Topos, leaving no documentation or evidence of the income.
