Fraud and lavish spending hollowed out Hobo Joe's empire
A sprawling IRE investigation details $1.5 million siphoned from Hobo Joe's for an unbuilt Las Vegas branch and a Camelback Mountain mansion built 1968 69 via commisary funds. Records show forged and diverted checks, kickbacks, and vague loans tied to Applegate, Goldwater, and Martori, with firearms, kidnap threats, and mob-linked vendors surfacing in the tangled web of loans, shell companies, and missing books.
