A one-time Swiss banking CEO who is on trial for fraud now says that the nearly $220,000 he spent at strip clubs was a legitimate business expense.
Meanwhile, Swiss prosecutors have also alleged that Vincenz ran up a $4,500 hotel bill that included repairs to the room after he and a stripper he was dating at the time got into a “massive” fight that caused significant damage.
Prosecutors want the 65-year-old Vincenz and his co-defendants to pay restitution totaling $77 million and serve six years in prison.
All seven who have been charged are denying the allegations.

Egoist, indeed.
Yeah. We had one client. Fedgov. He was his boss’ “fixer.” He could solve any bureaucratic problem. His boss said, “Take care of him.” So, we did anything that was legal. Last I checked, strip clubs are depressing, but legal (at least in the jurisdiction in which we worked).
This case requires the testimony of an expert witness, Lazamataz.
Plus, it appears there may soon be a CEO position open at a Swiss bank for which he is extremely well qualified.
Of course, a lot of business deals have been made at strip clubs over the years. Especially when foreigners come to town. Saudi Businessmen, especially love their strip clubs.

You have to wonder at the definition of “dating” was.
Here I thought it was a medical expense for low blood pressure.
