Arizona strip clubs hit with suit after patrons claim they were drugged and ... trends now
Around 20 people have filed a lawsuit against a chain of Arizona strip clubs, with claims they had been drugged and swindled out of an eye-watering collective sum of $1.1 million in VIP rooms.
Three clubs located on the same two-mile road - Bones Cabaret, Skin Cabaret, Dream Palace - have been named in the latest suit filed in January, according to documents recovered by Fox 10 Phoenix.
Some plaintiffs alleged they were drugged and then scammed out of six-figure sums at these establishments.
The alleged victims described the incidents as 'life and career-altering' and 'emotionally pretty difficult to bear'.
Todd Borowsky - the owner of the bars dotted between Scottsdale and Tempe has had several accusations levied against him including racketeering and conspiracy.
Borowsky, who runs his business under Wisnowski Inc., has branded the accusations as 'baseless', in a statement via his attorney'

Dennis Wilenchick - an attorney representing the club owner - compared the claims to going to a casino and 'asking for your money back'.
He also vehemently denied allegations that the plaintiffs were drugged and also stated that the dancers were 'independent contractors'.
'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,' he told Fox 10.
However, the attorney representing the plaintiffs, Rod Galarza, said all the alleged victims tell the 'same story' after visiting one of the three clubs - despite having never met.
Reiterating their version of events, Galarza said some remember an individual shouting at them to 'stop messing around' and to sign a piece of paper, whilst others recall being screamed at by a hostess or a bouncer to smile and to sit upright for pictures.
