kamui Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 $ 1,000 USD in Las Vegas at some strip club. That included wine, bottle of champagne, use of the VIP area and an hour of lap dances and tease with the darling of my choice. Expected more and felt ripped off. Live and learn. In LOS really don't know but have had many tabs over 3k on soi 33. 1.000 USD (1,000 USD for USvirign ), just for having a female ass grinding on you lap and some booze? In BKK you get the lappy for a LD and the tease isn't just an empty promise... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shygye Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Pretty cheap compared to Miami. The clubs aren't open to the public and exist only for the fraud scheme, according to the FBI. Yet they have the requisite exotic-sounding South Beach names: Caviar Bar, Nowhere Bar, Steel Toast, Tangia Club to name a few. Prosecutors say at least 88 victims have been identified with total losses in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Sometimes if they refused to pay, the scam operators would call local police under a Florida law that requires bar and restaurant patrons to pay a disputed bill first and take it up later with the credit card company. The operators also sometimes took pictures of the victims with bottles of alcohol to use as proof of the purchase, which sometimes ran $6,000 a pop or more, and one victim lost $43,000. The FBI affidavit says the "B-Girls" kept 20% of the business they brought in, with the owners getting 10%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave32 Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 I remember seeing an Enron documentary, there was a cat named Lou Pai - one of their execs - who would drop tens of thousands of dollars a few nights a week in Houston strip clubs. Passed out once in one of the booths at OG in Vegas after 30 hours straight at the poker table followed by drinking and debauchery. My friends found me about 6am -- was down a little over 1200 from several hours earlier when I walked in the door. Not one of my brighter moments but wouldn't change it. And I never even made it to the VIP room (gratefully). And still was up (dollar-wise) from the trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched this too. About Enron. Quite an eye-opener - about US employee greed. The tape recordings of employees laughing as the power plants in California were being shut down for "maintenance" - sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizardKing Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Have you seen "Inside Job?" Makes one want to become homicidal, knowing none of these fucks will ever even see the inside of a "Club Fed" low-security prison (they should be a supermax prison and someone's bitch for life IMHO!!!!)...

The tape recordings of employees laughing as the power plants in California were being shut down for "maintenance" - sad. Hey Foolio, don't misquote my smiley -- that was in relation to me being taken for a ride at OG yet still not having a total loss for the weekend, not Lou Pai's excesses. Yeah I heard the tape recordings long before the Enron documentary. You know that's what paved the way for the Gray Davis recall and the rise of Ahhhnold, right? That whole Enron thing went far. More telling was that Skilling was Bush's best buddy. As for Lou Pai, I don't exactly have moral outrage at his behavior (in strip clubs) either. He worked the system, like most of our major banks and financial institutions of the last couple decades. I'm not for socialism, but I am for a little fucking regulation and accountability. (In other words, maybe instead of focusing on entities like Enron, MCI, Arthur Andersen, etc. piecemeal -- we should look at the environment/conditions that nurtured them). bleh. Anyway, sorry, OT. Again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
