Woman Launches Suit Against American Express For Letting Her Rack Up Debt

NOVEMBER 25TH, 2004

A woman who posed as a Saudi princess is suing American Express for letting her rack up an enormous credit card bill.

Antoinette Millard is suing the credit card company for letting her use a special "Centurion Black" card meant for people who charge more than $150,000 a year.

She says she was mentally ill at the time of her spending spree and that American Express should have known that she was acting irrationally and impulsively.

She is suing them for $2 million.

Millard is currently awaiting trial on grand larceny charges.

Millard had also been under scrutiny for posing as a Saudi princess to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of merchandise.

In comparison to most women she probably is, yes. She's also a loser

Tort Law's Unprecedented Role in the 2004 Election:
What's Likely to Happen in a Republican-Dominated Congress, And What Already Occurred In States That Passed Referenda

• A Vote For A Republican Was, Generally, A Vote For Tort Reform
  
  While tort reform was not much of a debate issue, it may yet prove to be a key legislative issue. The Republicans' recent gains in the Senate mean that, whether voters wanted it or not, federal tort reform, imposed on the states, is more likely than ever to become a reality.
  
  For example, Senate Republicans have been hoping to pass a class action reform bill that would make it easier for defendants to remove class actions from the state courts to the federal courts, where--it is believed, at least--defendants might receive a more sympathetic hearing.
  
  To take another example, Senate Republicans may finally try to introduce nationwide limitations on all medical malpractice litigation - which would supersede, or add to, some state-by-state limitations that are already in place.
  
  If Democrats respond by filibustering, they will have to start explaining why they are opposed to the nationalization of state tort law - when it has traditionally been Republicans who have tried to preserve a larger role for the states. They have not yet even begun to make that argument.

Poll finds support for tort reform

• The Republican-controlled state Senate passed a tort reform bill last winter, but it died in the House, where Democrats were in the majority.

Tort Reform Expected to Be a Key Issue in Many State Legislatures

• In Missouri, business groups are hoping that the arrival of a Republican governor working with a Republican-controlled legislature will lead to tort reform measures limiting injury lawsuits. Tort reform bills that have previously passed the legislature have been vetoed by Democratic Gov. Bob Holden.

American express promptly raises her interest rates and recovers all $2 million, and then some.

No words. Does she think she can actually get away with this?
