Four New York-based employees of the financial powerhouse Deutsche Bank have been fired after they allegedly tried to expense a night out at a strip club in violation of company policy.
Ben Darsney, former Americas head of equity capital markets, was fired alongside Ravi Raghunathan, Brandon Sun and Daniel Gaona, after attempting to expense the night out as a legitimate restaurant visit, according to Bloomberg.
'When required by the facts and circumstances, we take appropriate remedial action.'
The incident was not related to business activity.
Even going to a strip club with colleagues is a violation of Deutsche Bank's company policy, and the error was allegedly compounded by attempting to expense the trip, and then by efforts to cover up the incident.
According to the New York Post, Darsney and Raghunathan, the managing director who ran most of the bank's SPAC business, took colleagues and a client to an unidentified strip club in February.
Others who were fired in the incident may have been accused of trying to cover up the expense report.
'People got fired who weren't at said event but lied and participated in coverup,' an insider told The Post.
'Everyone was very well-regarded, which made it hard,' the person added of Deutsche's decision to fire the men.

$1000 is like cover and 1 drink for their party.
Should not even have been flagged
Methinks they were just not high enough on the ole “corporate totem pole” to get away with it ..
Germans. The problem is probably that it was not properly accounted for and documented on the correct expense report.
Tryning to cover up a stripper?
Well, that defeats the purpose!
I worked for a company once that skipped right over strippers and went straight for the prostitutes for our biggest client
Hopefully high end professionals.
I may have worked for several Companies that would not have blinked real hard at a 10k expense report, well before 1999 anyway.
Everything kinda changed after that
Huh?! The company can regulate what businesses its employees patronize even during their off-hours, and even when not charging it to the company?!
Strip clubs are just places where empowered women can dress (or undress) as they choose. "Sex work is work!"
Though I do find it lamentable how the women there objectify the guys' wallets.

What kind of a cuck covers up for a visit to a strip club when he wasn't even invited along?!

Once the woke HR Dept gets involved it’s all over.
Thank God they were so freakin' dumb. Made it easy to convict them.
‘’Sex work is work’’.
“Sex work’’ is debasing one’s self and losing one’s dignity for money.
And in the end no one wants an old whore.
Yes, of course! I was "mouthing" the usual propaganda, for effect. That's why I placed the statement in quotation marks.

I did not even notice the naked women. I’m not a biologist!
Neophytes!! They did it all wrong. Europeans have the vendors pay for strip clubs. In exchange the business is booked. I 100% know this for a fact. Don’t ask me how I know.
+. I’ve paid for more than a few European adventures in the course of business dealings.
WGAF
How dare they act like government employees, lobbyists, and contractors?
It wasn’t that long ago where they would have been fired if they HAD NOT gone to a strip club while in NYC.
We live in a new, experimental, world now.
