As part of the scam, Salao would expedite license applications for Seo’s clients and delay those of owners who refused to work with the consultant, the indictment said. He also tipped off Seo when Los Angeles police officers were conducting undercover operations at Koreatown bars, prosecutors alleged. He once sent Seo the photo of an undercover LAPD officer, prosecutors said, so Seo could warn his clients to keep an eye out for him.
