CEO Disputes $241K Tab At Strip Club
(New York) American Express is suing the CEO of a communications company for payment of $241,000 worth of disputed credit card charges incurred at a Manhattan topless club.
AmEx argued in papers filed in state court that Savvis Inc. CEO Robert A. McCormick was in the NY nudie club Scores in October 2003 with at least three other guests.
McCormick denied the validity of the charges.
"Look, we were totally hammered; when she said "twenty for a lapdance" I didn't know she was talking $20K," he said. "Besides, the coke the bartender sold me was cut like 10:1 with filler."
McCormick said that he will "vigorously defend" the bill.
"The dudes I was with could not have snorted that much Andean happy powder," he said. "Plus, they were drinking Courvoisier, not the fucking Dom Perignon they billed us for."
Part of the dispute, said McCormick, hinged on the quality of the entertainment.
"They billed themselves as the "Lexus of Ladies," but most of them were like used Tempos," he quipped. "Would you want to shell out the top bucks for some skank with stretch marks and biker tattoos? I rest my case."

$ 20K for a "skank" lap dance?
Definitely an overcharge.
He shouldn't have paid more than say $30-50 for a GOOD “skank” dance...
Sometimes it pays to get an estimate BEFORE getting hammered...
