A Providence, Rhode Island, strip club was recently robbed of a huge amount of cash, most of which was in $1 bills.
Cadillac Lounge manager Ed Imondi explained he had the money out and was counting it prior to opening hours when the incident occurred, according to CBS Boston.
A man entered and pointed a gun at his head, telling him, “This is a robbery.” The suspect allegedly snatched $3,500 out of Imondi’s hands.
He also demanded he open a safe holding $22,000 in $1 bills.
“He took all the ones, I could hear him stacking them into the big bag he had,” Imondi recalled, adding, “Obviously, he knew we had a lot of money in there.”
According to reports, Jontay Goode now faces a charge of armed robbery, and law enforcement said he had on a mask during the incident.

The manager of the Cadillac lounge tells us the robber held the gun to his head and told him to open a specific safe which indicated to the manager that he probably knew inside information about the safe. @ABC6

Law enforcement later confirmed the man accused in the Cadillac Lounge robbery worked at the business.
“Through interviews from some of the employees, we were able to realize that it did look like an inside job. It was revealed that one of the employees was responsible,” an official said:
