Amex Sues CEO Over $241,000 Topless Bill

NEW YORK - American Express is suing the CEO of a communications company for payment of $241,000 worth of disputed credit card charges at a Manhattan topless club.

American Express says in papers filed in state court that Savvis Inc. chief executive officer Robert A. McCormick was in the club Scores in October 2003 with at least three other men.

After McCormick got the $241,000 corporate credit card bill, Savvis called American Express and complained that some of the charges were fraudulent, the lawsuit says. The communications company said its chief disputed all but about $20,000, according to the lawsuit.

"We firmly believe that Mr. McCormick was the victim of fraud," said Deena Williamson, Savvis's deputy general counsel. She declined to comment further.

Lonnie Hanover, a Scores spokesman, said he had not talked to all of the employees involved with McCormick and could not say what the CEO purchased.

The lawsuit filed Wednesday against McCormick and Savvis is at least the third in the past two years involving contested credit card charges at Scores. One patron sued the club after he got a $28,000 bill and another disputed $129,000 in charges.

After a lawsuit last year, Hanover said that "high rollers" visiting Scores' "super elite Presidents' Club" spend thousands of dollars on single bottles of champagne and tip strippers as much as $10,000 for lap dances and for spending time with them.

The district attorney's office has said it is investigating alleged overcharging at Scores.

Hanover said that each time a patron spends $10,000, Scores calls the customer's credit card company to get the charges approved. Scores even fingerprints the customer and requires him to get on the telephone with a credit card representative, he said.

"We got authorization for all of the charges," Hanover said of McCormick's visit. "We followed proper procedures and documentation, and we were paid."

Court papers say American Express asked McCormick several times to provide in writing his basis for calling the charges fraudulent. McCormick failed to respond, and when he was billed again he once again objected to the charges, the lawsuit says.

American Express says McCormick finally responded in writing in September 2004, reiterating that some charges on the Scores bill were bogus, the lawsuit says.

Scores has been paid in full, American Express's court papers say, while neither Savvis nor McCormick has paid any of the charges. Failure to pay is a violation of the American Express corporate credit card agreement, court papers say.

An American Express spokeswoman, Judy Tenzer, said she had no comment.

hey, when are we going to scarlets again :Graucho

Are those girls doing double anal in the backroom at those prices?

Wonder if Shannon's still working there. I was down a few times since, but never saw her there again.

$241k for four guys in a single night? Seems damn excessive, I'd like to see the breakdown of that bill!

I think that's just fucking rediculas. Talk about taking advantage of someone.

You cant pay with AMEX in scores anymore :(

I've heard of guys running up $20K to $30k a night, but yeh $240K is a big tip night for sure.

:1orglaugh

Hah I know a DJ and a few girls that work there. I'll have to ask em about this.

for 241,000 he could of had 975 escorts for an hour each and he wouldove gotten way more from any single one of them then he got for the 241k at scores

Must have been quite some party! damn!

no shit? :(

damn that alot of dances

I am going to get a stripper job there.

I think your friend Jeff can probably spend that easily in 1 night haha.

The bottom line it shows a women's pussy is the most powerful weapon on this planet.

:1orglaugh

Holy crap that's some high price talent ;)

if we can come up with a pill that changes that and allows men to think with their big head only i think we will have flying cars in 2 weeks, pussy just fucks everything up

idiots? the point of making money is to charge as much as someone is willing to pay, you seemed to pay that much so i think it makes them pretty damn smart. i would charge someone a million dollars for a pack of smokes if i could get away with it.

$10000 tip for a lap dance????
At 5 minutes/song a girl could buy a Ferrari after a busy night!

And yet why is that AMEX can't be accepted by most adult websites ...? :upsidedow

If fraud is the main reason, then perhaps Scores has the right idea with fingerprinting customers, etc.

Ron

p.s. fingerprinting.com is for sale - yes, it's priced very, very high ... I'm in no rush to sell it, since there's much future development potential; big corps who have considered it.

p.p.s. If anyone here is planning to visit Scores or similar ... STOP! Instead visit a regular full-service strip club, and use the savings to buy some domain names ... $241,000 would get one a lot of them! :1orglaugh

Too funny

Anyone know what the girls get paid? Is it flat rate, per dance + tips?
I'd be interested to know how much the club made and how much the girls made. I have a feeling the club is the one making the killing here.

Ah stfu :disgust

Stupid.. why they don't just go to an average Joe stripper club and hire it all out for $10-50k is beyond me. They must have money to burn =_=
