TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) An online auction of sex toys that were seized by Kansas authorities in a tax delinquency case could boost the state’s revenues.
State Revenue Department spokeswoman Jeanine Koranda said Wednesday the agency seized items in July from five adult stores operated by United Outlets LLC under the name Bang. Two were in Topeka and one each in Kansas City, Kansas; Junction City, and Wichita.
They were seized for failure to pay sales, income and withholding taxes of $163,986.
Koranda said the assets were released back to the owner, so that he could auction the property to raise money to pay off the tax debt.
The auction is on equip-bid.com. The owner of United Outlets is Larry H. Minkoff of Prairie Village. He didn’t have a listed phone number.
