Brothel once owned by nefarious Sydney gambling identity Eddie Hayson. 

From sydneycriminallawyers.com.au in 2020:

"More recently, media reports have emerged that gambling identity Eddie Hayson is alleged to have admitted paying NRL players $50,000 each to fix the round 16 game between Manly and South Sydney.

"Senior organised crime squad detectives have expressed concern that the NRL has been infiltrated by underworld figures, saying that clubs are in denial.

"Detective Inspector Wayne Walpole, in charge of the state’s charter against organised crime infiltrating sport, told the media:

"“I’m not saying corruption or match fixing has happened, but I’m saying the infiltration is there and that infiltration can lead to the compromise of the sports of the athlete.”

"Some players including Parramatta’s Corey Norman and Junior Paulo and Penrith’s James Segeyaro have already been issued with warnings against consorting with convicted criminals and known gamblers.

"There is no suggestion the men were engaged in, or intended to engage in match fixing, but the message from the crime squad is clear, they’re ‘watching closely’."

Hayson scoffed at the story at the time and said no offers to players were ever made.

It has been confirmed, however, that several high-profile people [including football players and high-ranking police officers were given 'free trips' to his one-time brothel.
