I know it's not nice but how can you be so careless? If you leave $8,500 cash unattended, wouldn't you be called an idiot? Obviously his AMEX limit was AT LEAST that high and as such he should guard it with his life, not lose it at a club and get drunk. So so stupid.

Is AMEX different than the other major CC issuers (Visa, Mastercard, Discover)?
Isn't the limit on most of them $50 for which the cardholder is responsible if the card is stolen?

Yeah, but that's still pretty careless - when you report your credit card stolen, the money doesn't just magically appear, someone is losing money on the deal. In this case they caught the guy so hopefully they'll be able to get the money out of him, but if they had not found him it's unfortunate that kermalou would not be responsible for the charges, because it's entirely his fault.
A champagne room is so expensive? What the hell? Can't you just cruise around the red district and pick someone up for way cheaper?

Yeah they do, but like I said, the money doesn't just magically appear. Either the credit card company or the business that accepted the credit card loses money. It's unfortunate that people have no sense of personal responsibility when it comes to this because they don't see any problem with faceless corporations taking the hit for someone's drunken stupidity.
Why the hell would you go to a club that costs 300-400 dollars a bottle? So that you can feel like you are upper class?
You're an idiot
Be glad it was AMEX. They prolly sent helicopter bound armed thugs to bail your ass out. I love those guys. They're their own mafia. :beer:
Who says management was not aware of it?
Ever heard of the recent scandals surrounding the Gold Club and Scores Strip Club? The entire staff was trained to shower patrons with attention, get them drunk, then bilk them for thousands of dollars. One guy woke up the next morning and had spent $28,000 he couldn't account for.
yes, someone loses money on this. most likely amex.
kermalou you are an idiot. i am sorry but you really are.
as a fellow amex cardholder (i dont really use it much) you are just screwing over other customers. etc. take some responsbility.

not that I am defending him or anything, but bottles can cost that much or more at almost any bar or club in a big city (espcially if you order a bottle of blue label or louis XIV vsop or somesuch).
Damn when I kicked it with some friends down in LA, we ended up spending a total of 800 bucks that night. Buying bottles and food and having the waitresses feed us... it was kinda cool. hehe.
