And then there was his fight with a competing swingers' club, the Scarlet Ranch, as Jared Jacang Maher detailed in this 2006 cover story. But Ewing just kept swinging, opening the Sugar House on West Alameda. Now, though, things aren't looking so sweet for Ewing.
The feds have charged Ewing with one count of tax evasion for failing to report income "related to the operation and sale of a prostitution business" he owned in 2005 and 2006.
According to the IRS, Ewing used Sindicate Media & Consulting to "disguise from the Internal Revenue Service the true source and amount of the income he received from Denver Sugar/Denver Players."
Back in 2006, its website touted the Sindicate as "an upscale lifestyle scene that caters to young, attractive couples and single women," and boasted of a bar and dance area, as well as a "group play/voyeur area."
Voyeurs will want to watch what happens next with Ewing, who's currently out on bond.
