In the article the owner states he paid his "fair share of taxes and fees". Fair share is not the same as saying all taxes and fees were paid. Maybe he just had a shit accountant that didn't keep up with reporting. A business like that should have thrown off lots of cash. If you pay your taxes and fees, you keep the prying eyes away.
Believe me there's more to this story.... not paying taxes was the quickest and easiest way to shut it down. I know exactly what happened and who it happened to. James Harden and his entourage was a part of it, too.
You do not let a Houston Icon's son get assaulted and not expect the heat.
But, paying the correct amount of taxes and fees will not get your doors locked and your asset seized.
