"A Clockwork Orange–inspired bar on East 12th Street that opened on Halloween in 2016, Moloko seemed to have closed sometime last year; after the January 2017 attack on DJ Miguel Angel Torres by former owner Shusaku Shiroyama (aka Charlie Valentine), co-owner Miguel Jimenez relieved Shiroyama of his managing partner duties. Shiroyama was later found guilty of the samurai-sword attack and, citing mental health issues and a reported manic episode, was sentenced to probation rather than prison time." - Nadia Chaudhury
