    Initially when I read the article, I thought the strip club was using software that used an Oracle database and somehow due to a database corruption/bug, a patron managed to run up a massive unpaid tab.

                If you were out with the Oracle team, it's not your back that needs covering.

                  WTF? That strip club just wants publicity. I wouldn't be surprised if that place modified the amount for this lawsuit.

                    "we suspect that the club is using it to garner publicity in order to attract current OpenWorld attendees" Er, yeah. Bills for 16 to 17 thousand a night are going to attract a lot of people.

                      Company issued Amex cards are issued to the employee, so it's the employee they need to sue here.

                      Yes, but when the employee doesn't pay they go after the company. And, according to the cardholder agreement, the company is on the hook in such instances. They need to offer termination to the people that ran up such bills.
