Stripper gang that plied rich men with drugs before stealing their credit cards ...

Jennifer Lopez is currently filming Hustlers, but the real life ringleader of a gang of strippers and hookers who scammed their wealthy Wall Street clients out of thousands of dollars is speaking out.

Samantha Barbash, who will be portrayed by J Lo in her film, says she hopes the movie star would reach out to her.

‘I’m really flattered Jennifer wants to play me,’ the 44-year-old Barbash told The Sun.

‘But if she wants to do it, she should talk to me.

‘Everyone who knows me knows the truth.’

In the early 2000s, Barbash was a top dancer at the Hustler Club in Manhattan.

Barbash introduced Keo to a number of her regular clients, most of whom were men who worked on Wall Street and ‘wanted to have fun and get drunk and party with girls.’

Barbash eventually gathered a number of strippers and dancers who would lure men into clubs.

‘It sounds so bad to say we were
