Phoenix, Arizona
In 2021 a Phoenix PD financial crimes detective noticed a pattern in the criminal complaints the department had received in recent years.
The commonalities were three area strip clubs, the Dream Palace, Bones Cabaret, and Skin Cabaret, VIP rooms, feeling woozy, memory loss, thumbprinting paperwork, their photos taken, and enormous credit card charges.
In a lawsuit filed by just 20 men from different states, against the owner of all three, the complaint says Todd Borowsky is the sole director, shareholder and president of Wisnowski, Incorporated, which does business under Skin Cabaret and Bones Cabaret.
Here's how one victim described what happened to him when he paid a visit to the club when he was stationed at a nearby Air Force base (with his wife and young children) and woke up to charges of an eye-popping $181,000.
One hundred and eighty one thousand dollars.
Club reps approved transactions via text with credit card companies by using the face ID function, holding the owner’s iPhone in front of their face to unlock it.
Can you guess how much of that money the credit card company, AMEX refunded/reversed?
Zero.
He'd gone to the restroom and got separated from his friends.
Then:
"I remember walking through what I thought was a cloud of perfume or makeup or something like dusty from one of the kind of cracks of light that was coming through and that’s when I ended up in the VIP room and started to get these symptoms not alcohol-related, something else that made me acquiesce and go along to what they seemed to be pushing."*
(*Some reviews say they do serve alcoholic drinks some say they do not and the staff bringing their own liquor, one is located on a county Island I think the other two are in within city limits, but the website for the Dream Palace says they have bottle service.)
Neither he nor any of the other plantiffs were drug tested afterwards but all say they felt incapicated after entering the VIP room.
He couldn't leave the VIP room, his friends couldn't get in, and they shifted him from that club to a different one
He remembers being yelled at a lot.
The next day, he discovered several charges on multiple credit cards
The men speak of ruined careers, marriages, finances.
You can see how far back these claims go with this yelp thread:

One guys saga from 9 years ago to the tune of ELEVEN Grand
The lawyer for Todd Borowsky says:
"The cases are baseless. It's like going into a casino and asking for your money back after you choose to be there.
First, they were not drugged.
Second, the dancers were independent contractors. [That's odd. I just saw the job application for "Talent" on their website]
Third, these guys received services they expressly contracted for and received and documentation and photos were taken, and
Fourth, their credit card companies also investigated and approved the transactions."
Todd lives a charmed life so we'll see.

Todd Borowsky gave no statements, but thats OK, I have some quotes from him:
"“Come out, my little rabbits. Meet my AK.”
“I am going to kill u.”
Who is Todd Borowsky?
Why, he's the owner of 2005 Lamborghini Gallardo and 2007 bulletproof GMC Denali, and a 1971 Chevelle Convertible, which he purchased from Mötley Crue bassist Nikki Sixx, a condo in San Diego, lots of properties, those 3 strip clubs, and his father
owned the Arizona Snowbowl, a ski resort in Flagstaff Arizona for 22 years after making money on the real estate market. His sister who I pictured above, Lisa Borowsky, a lawyer, was on the Scottsdale city council and running is for mayor on the Republican ticket. This year.
Todd only dates strippers who are Republicans, and I wouldn't kid about that.
He was in a financial pinch about a decade ago and got into business with a regular patron who was a pawn shop owner and that all exploded into a mess and it's detailed in the article at the links below but it ended in 2018 with Todd winning 18 million from that pawn shop owner.

How did this go on for so long? There's a lot of people visiting from out of town and out of state for conferences, trade shows, sporting events, there's always new students coming to the university, and the club paid Uber and Lyft and taxi drivers to bring people to their there.
