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.

“She told me she LOVED me!
Everybody in the bedroom heard her saying it!”
A Nigerian Prince wants to comfort the fool - oops, I mean this suffering man from Arkansas.
The Prince has a daughter who is tried and true and beautiful - and wants to share her life and money with this Arkansas man.
She will be very wealthy and could help this man AND love him IF only she had the money to pay off the man who has her grandfather’s will... so he’ll release the real will... This Arkansas man could have it all - The Prince wants to know if anyone’s got his phone number?
Yeah. No.
Having lived in Vegas myself, it should also be pointed out that the attractive woman in the bar may very well not even be a woman!!
This dude was a complete moron and he’s FAR from the only one to get entangled in such a scheme.
“I have lots of hobbies ...”
Yeah, There’s Joe, and Jim, and Tom, and Dick, and Harry, and Bubba, and Tyrone, and ...
He deserved to be separated from his wealth.
Apparently she touched him up for $3 million and he wants $38 million in recompense. Apparently he didn’t learn much about unreasonable expectations from this little affair.
I typically go to Las Vegas once every year or two for work, generally staying a week or so. I hate that cesspool of a city. Although I don’t have any animosity toward them, I don’t drink and don’t gamble so I’ve never spent a penny in the casino’s. However, I have noticed that no one seems to be having the lively great experience like in the advertisements. One day, I saw a pretty young lady with a group of others. She was smiling ear to ear and looking like a Vegas ad.
I remember thinking how much she was paid by the hour to be there.
That is why I only associate with a woman that pays for everything. Don’t have to time to question the motives of anyone. A simple policy that works well.
Nope, That award is reserved for someone who removes themselves from the gene pool by accidentally killing themselves in a most stupid manner before reproducing. Honorable mention if they render themselves sterile without killing themselves.
What about “Las Vegas dancer” does he not understand?
“Fred Brunner” alias Hunter Biden?
Maybe he didn't know all there is to know about The Crying Game.
Never divulge to a woman what you're worth until you are very far along in the relationship.
If she ask it is time to walk away.
This is really a heartwarming story!
Only in American can you get this wealthy, being this stupid.
LOL!
LOL. This man might need to be under conservatorship.
Totally stunned.
A really top shelf escort reputedly clocks out at like $10K per night.
So the money he spent could have bought 3500 nights of seriously high end call girls, which covers the same ten year time frame if you assume he took a few days a year off for Christmas and other major holidays.
For that kind of money he should be slapping backs and comparing notes with Charlie Sheen, Wilt Chamberlain , Warren Beatty and Jack Nicholson.
Very sad and very pathetic.
Kind of blows the whole concept of " I spent most of my fortune of on women, booze, coke and gambling. The rest I just wasted". The dude just wasted it all
