As I wrote, there are a lot of cover occupations to be filled. Heck, even a "lifeguard" for the pool could be "made", if needed. Who cares if they are working in the right field? Unless the Feds have really serious suspicions, nobody will take a closer look if it runs smooth. I am sure that the books of PC are fixed good enough to withstand one or two harder looks. That is not magic.

I am not familiar with tax evasion, but it happens and people do get away with it.

As for what is declared as taxable income, i think there are several legal options:
- They can report the drinks as grossly overpriced. I saw a host club in Tokyo charging 1,000,000¥ for a bottle of champagne, that's currently more than 7000$. There were also cigars allegedly for 7500$ per box used in the first sauna scene.
- The services of the girls can be masked as hosting, entertainment, dancing and performing and be charged at the high end of plausibility also.
- They can report membership fees as income, and set again virtually any number as long it's somewhat plausible.
August is the manager and can pay himself a manager's salary, Kathleen is HR director with an equally high salary, Warren chief of security with Jacob working under him, both paid; Hana is a paid bartender, why not? Ian could be hired as a freelance photographer for special events and Edwin is getting a paycheck:

He is definetly not as powerful as those two owners. But opposed to a disgruntled house girl, Warren really has the means to seriously damage the club and the owners, by providing heaps of actual evidence of criminal activity to law enforcement agencies.
If Warren chooses to, he can blow off the lid of this operation and get probably even away with a key witness programm for himself. He is in charge of the video feeds and his testimony provides intimate knowledge of the clubs' inner workings.
I agree with you on this. But considering the good connections they have, I think the Club has a good chance to survive one or two hard looks by officialdom. But if they come fully into the crosshairs, then they will likely be busted.
Like I wrote above, as long as it runs smooth and the bureaucrarcy has no reason to become really suspicious, the Club is not in danger.
That legal situation is one reason I think Darius got through with his blackmail. They had not had this problem before, so it was easier to let him and his girl go, than risk scrutiny. And that such a situation does not repeat, Kath is working with Abel on their drug and willing to rock the boat in Pale Carnations with a planned revolution.

The use of certain versions of the drug/aphrodisiac/stimulans at the club is no secret, i stated that already in a former post. Whether the house girls assess this drug as illegal, or just a legal aphrodisiac and stimulans, is unimportant, because there is also open use of obviously illegal substances, probably cocaine and / or speed as shown here:

As for the chemical synthesis of Abels drug, that actually depends very much on the raw components one would have access to.
Creating for instance pharmaceutical grade Heroin (Diacetylmorphine) from scratch would be very, very challenging and would require a very well stacked laboratory both in materials and equipment plus a person who actually knows about chemistry.
But as soon someone has access to opium and acetic acid (which is not hard to get), even an amateur with no lab at all is able to produce low-grade, unclean Heroin. "Black tar heroin" for instance is the result of crude acetylation during clandestine production without further purification.
So if Abel is providing the legal precursor from his company, a decent stacked home lab and the expertise of Sophia and Abel should more than suffice to produce different versions of the stimulans. And don't forget we aren't talking about kilograms of the precursor, but rather tens or very low 100 of grams, since the effective doses of pharmaceuticals and drugs are usually in the scope of mg/kg body mass.
They don't need to run a Walter White like chemical plant for that. However if they decide at one point to start mass production, their facility would look very much like Walter's.

We see only a tiny fraction of all camera feeds. The building has dozends of rooms and facilities, and all of them are allegedly supervised, sometimes with more than one cam. We see only a handful of those cam-feeds and not all of them.
This handy little intercom is small enough to not be seen from our perspective of the entrance.
It provides two tablets to conveniently access the camera, confirm your visitor and open the doors from any place in the building, as long as they are in range.
No running down the stairs anymore to receive your guest breathless in your preferred representative room.
We live in the 21st century and security cams don't need to be those bulky monsters anymore, infact they can be ridiculously and frighteningly small. The reason we have still this chunky and sturdy CCTVs in public is, because they are meant to be seen to act as a deterrent for potential crime and to withstand vandalism from perpetrators and violence against them.
And last but not least Edwin is usually expected to arrive at the club at specific hours, and Ian is already waiting for him in front of the door for his first visit. It's reasonable that Ian announced Edwins arrival, so Warren unlocked the various doors.
Also, Warren just has to leave the security room and head to the bar which is no further than max two floors away, while Ian and Edwin have to ride the elevator up to the 10th floor, walk up two more floors to arrive at the vestibule with Jacob, have a quick chat with him and then head upstairs again to arrive at the bar. That should take considerably longer than what Warren has to walk to the bar.
To assume they have all this security inside, but lack any information from outside and are unable to defend their perimeter with the most basic measure (a locked front door) is plainly unbelievable.

I don't know if it has any relevance to the matter, but

Do we know what scenes are planned as consequences for losing the last exhibition? Is it going to be various group combinations or just singles? Wondering what save states will be needed

I've had some questions about that screen as well. I don't think we actually know any of the girls in these pictures. At first glance they look like they could be Dalia, Mercedes, and possibly Emma. But the eye color is wrong for Dalia and Mercedes, and Emma has brown hair, not blonde. Mercedes' hair is also a lot darker but it could just be different lighting.
So, who are these girls? Are they actually part of the story or are they just here for the loading screen?
I think the camera "problem" is simply one of the game engine. It is hardly believable a semi-legal (at best) business and one where high-raning criminals come in regularly and illegal medical experiments take place would not have great security measures. The leadership of PC is not dumb, far from it and has serious life experience, good and shady. It is actually mentioned in the game that a security system exists and is working.
That Kath and Abel´s little experiement can happen at all is that Kath has Warren on her side and both manipulate the security recordings. Remember Hana mentioning to Edwin and her friends (at their pool evening) that August controls the security recordings daily? And Kath later on convinces Warren to deliver August forged recordings?
I say it depends on what road TD and Gil wanted to go with the story at this early stage of development. Maybe they aimed for a full crime story more in the beginning. Or it could be a hint how dangerous Warren really is and these 3 ladies were victims of him. Now he is working in a Club under the main command of a known sadist where several girls fitting his "type" are working too. Nothing to be afraid off, or?Glad you posted as this was going to be something I was going to do when the new update dropped. Looking at them next to each other (and with out knowing about the development) maybe the screen was made before their characters were finalized? That or Warren is a serial killer and Dalia, Mercedes, and possibly Emma are about to be in danger

okey, this is quite hard to tell in a foreign language.
Can you see the vertical brick "steps" and how the door is kind of recessed into the wall? The middle vertical line of this picture is fairly well represented by the 'ONE WAY' sign. So the door is off to the left in our perspective. Which results that we can see the "rise" of the "steps" on the left side (represented by the yellow scribbling), but we can't see the rise on the right side (the bright green line) due to our perspective. The intercom would be normally placed either behind the red arrowhead facing us, or at the place of the black line to which the arrow points. If the dimensions of the picture would be called x for left-right y for up-down and z for front-back, the panel of the intercom would be placed in a y-z plane.

I think GIL3D has chosen this one, because there are practically no windows, aside from the glass doors leading to the balconies, which should be good for the desired privacy of the club.
As for the security system, I have to look again during a replay where exactly, but I know that it was mentioned several times. And we agree on the graphics engine being the reason for not seeing the cameras which are there.
As for Warren, if our speculations are correct, we do not know who or where the investigation takes place. He could simply have moved several states away from where this happens. Even today that is enough to shake off most trailers. If Warren is guilty of this, I doubt the owners know anything about it and have no idea about the ticking bomb in their midth.

Don't think the game will turn into a "detective investigates murder" this late in development.

Because giving a password adds to the exclusivity and mystery of that place, when you look at the actual chat of Jacob with Ian and Edwin there is no exchange of a password. Could also be a backup measure if Edwin arrived alone, because Jacob had not seen his face till then, or in case someone else arrived per chance at the same time Edwin was expected (like a delivery boy) and Warren had already unlocked the doors.
There is positively no reason why they shouldn't have someting simple as a buzzing system, my aforementioned intercom system costs around 450$ + installation.
If you leave a random building open in a urban environment, you have constantly to deal with squatters, homeless and junkies taking their place there, or kids playing hide and seek in the building, or youngsters who hang out there, or other people using it as public toilet.
You want to avoid that. How? Lock the front door and install a buzzer system.

Yeah, for buz like the club, there is no really an "out" if you ever dipped your head into the mud, unless being gone missing or sank into the deep of ocean....
The same can be said about Jacob yet he stays in line despite not liking the club and despite what happened to Emily - he has to beg Dalia/Edwin to give her just one night off and he has access to the exact same footage and evidence as Warren. Warren is just another hired thug - he will likely be featured in the story in the future but thats just because he is a terrible person who makes for a good bad guy that is easy to hate. It is not because he has any real power - the owners overlook what he does because they simply dont care if he abuses the house girls. August and Chuck dont care. Kathleen just finds it amusing.
Of the owners I think as of now only Kathleen can be blackmailed - based on the dialogue with August she is unlikely to have been involved in illegal activities in the past. Chuck and August are a different story altogether given their connections to the underworld and other shady characters.

I have to agree with you on that, mostly.
Yes, i tend to overlook Jacob, because he is apparently a nice guy.
In theory he has indeed access to the cam feeds, and thus a lot of potentially compromising material, but it is not sure if he has access to all the feeds as Warren does. There may also be different clearance levels for them, like Jacob could have read/view only and Warren could have like save/overwrite/delete privileges, but this is speculation. What we know for sure, and what makes his testimony more valuable than Jacobs, is that atleast Kathleen relies to a certain degree on him, it's Warren and not Jacob with whom she discusses Club related politics, especially regarding Hana.
And i dare to say he snitched to Chuck, because since the latest update Chuck is aware of Kathleens 'office politics'.
I think we tend to see Warren as a Kathleen man, but perhaps he is closer with 'Uncle' Chuck than we anticipated.
That's what i meant, when i said he knows of the inner workings, and this is valuable information for a law enforcement agency.
Jacob strikes me as a content guy, sure there is some shit he doesn't like about the club, but he worked in worse jobs. The pay is good, he gets time off, probably pretty regularly, in times there is not much to do he can read a good book while being on the clock.
Yes, sometimes he feels like he should do something, so he called out Warren about Emily, and exchanged a black eye for a broken nose. The next step was to ask Edwin, the newbie, if there is something he could do. That is not very escalating to be honest.
I still believe Warren is a different number and plays a league above him.
If i had to classify the "threat level" of the various employees, i would rate the Housegirls as F or D (Harper, perhaps), Dahlia as D or C, Jacob as C or D and Warren as A or B. Every owner should be able to fairly easily handle threat levels up to C, because i would rate their "power level" as B for Kathleen, August an A and 'Uncle' Chuck on S tier.
