The strip club from The Sopranos sleeps with the fishes.

Satin Dolls, the New Jersey go-go club known as the Bada Bing from HBO’s mafia-family drama, has been ordered to cease operations because of its alleged real-life Mafia ties, state Attorney General Christopher Porrino announced Thursday.

“Illegal activity was glorified at the Bada Bing in the fictional world of Tony Soprano, but it has no place in modern-day New Jersey,” Porrino said. “It’s time to shut it down.” Porrino said Anthony Cardinalle, a gangster connected to the Genovese crime family—the oldest of New York and New Jersey’s “Five Families”—defied an order from the Division of Alcohol Beverage Control that barred his family from running the Satin Dolls and another lounge, A.J.’s Gentleman’s Club.

The agency “alleged that Anthony Cardinalle, who was criminally disqualified from maintaining involvement with the clubs’ operations, nonetheless continued to run the businesses,” after he received the order last month, Porrino said.
