Man is Amex strife over stripper charges
Savvis Communications said on Monday it had placed its chief executive on unpaid leave and will launch an internal probe related to a credit card company lawsuit alleging he was two years late in paying $241,000 in charges at a Manhattan strip club.
According to Yahoo News, the telecommunications carrier said Robert McCormick was placed on unpaid leave effective Monday, pending the outcome of the investigation.
The lawsuit, brought by American Express against McCormick and Savvis last week, charges that the two were late in paying charges rung up on McCormick’s corporate credit card at Scores, a trendy New York strip club.
Savvis said earlier on Monday that McCormick did not seek reimbursement for the $241,000 in charges and that the St. Louis-based company has not made any payment to American Express related to the charges.
The bulk of the charges were for tips that McCormick gave to lap dancers who were entertaining his party in a VIP room known as the President’s Club, according to Scores spokesman Lonnie Hanover.
