A Washington County man is filing a lawsuit against a Las Vegas dancer after he says an "extensive, fraudulent scheme" lasting ten years cost him over $35,000,000, according to court documents.
The lawsuit claims in 2014 the plaintiff, Fred Brunner, was going through a divorce and "decided to go to a Las Vegas gentleman's club to smoke a cigar and have a few cocktails."
That's where he met a woman.
The woman, who was reportedly a dancer, "made a significant amount of money from Brunner that night ... and learned Brunner was far wealthier than her normal patrons — wealthy enough to change her life," the lawsuit alleges. The lawsuit claims the woman communicated with him daily while scheming to "form a make-believe relationship" with the ultimate goal of getting as much money out of him as possible.
Over ten years, Brunner claims the "woman hoodwinked him into thinking they were in an exclusive, romantic relationship." During this time, the lawsuit says she accepted a house and several trips funded by Brunner. Brunner also claims he would send financial support to the woman at "her specific request."
During the woman's alleged scheme, the lawsuit says she collected over $3 million from Brunner.
"Contrary to her countless representations to Brunner, the woman was in fact in a romantic relationship with another man in Las Vegas," the lawsuit says. Additionally, the lawsuit claims the woman gave some of Brunner's money to the other man. "All along, she had no intention of following through on her representations, doing only what was necessary to keep Brunner from being suspicious," the lawsuit alleges. Brunner is seeking compensation and punitive fees from the woman amounting to $38,500,000, according to the lawsuit.

So if you are planning to visit Las Vegas, here is a piece of advice: that pretty and sultry woman at the bar who is expressing interest in you is not because you are interesting, witty, or handsome. Rather, she “relies upon the kindness of strangers.” You have been warned.
Willie Brown is wondering if he can sue Kamala for the same thing.
Wow. Talk about a fool and his money soon being parted
the plaintiff deserves the Darwin Award....
Wait, what? Many of the “fairer sex” are lying whores and opportunistic grifters?! Who knew!
It’s not endemic to Las Vegas.................
Exclusive romantic relationship with a Vegas stripper.
Riiiiiiiight….
Gentleman’s Club???...The Mafia doesn’t call them ‘clip joints’ for nothing..........
Some of these games go way back.
It seems Willie Brown was himself a married man. I don’t know if a court would consider that suit.
LOL...why does “born every minute” come to mind?
Surely she has it tucked away somewhere handy.
$38 million on hookers and blow, and the rest he wasted.
Which is more embarrassing, spending the $38 million or suing and making it public?
“I’ll bet you think strippers like you, too.”
- Forgetting Sarah Marshall (movie)
He apparently wanted to get screwed, and it sounds like he succeeded. What’s the beef?
And he gave her money to do it??? Man o man....
Proper garden tool ...
I wish I had $35 million to spend on a Vegas "dancer". I've been to gentlemen's clubs, and I knew nothing was exclusive about their desire for me. Wasn't exclusive for me, either. That money isn't going to come back, same as money spent on any vice like smokes or liquor.
He spent over 3 million a year on her? Unbelievable..
