  Hmm.Why do I sense there's a lot more to this story than a simple refusal to pay ? Also,shouldn't a club let you know what your tab is once it's reached say $300 ? Seems to me it would cut down on BS like this.

  I'd sure like to see the itemized charges. Wonder if it entailed 1 or more overpriced "champagne" bottles ? Still, that is a lot of overpriced drinks. Definitely seems fishy. I also find it hard to imagine that type of business letting someone run up any significant tab without doing a credit card swipe first. More to this than meets the eye.

  This seems impossible to me, I frequent clubs everywhere and I can't think of any place where I could have run a tab. Clubs take CC and charge ongoing, many of them now are requiring two signatures and sometimes even thumb prints. Unless he was contesting the CC charge and refusing to sign.

  If he had said the bill was wrong, it would be a civil matter, they would not arrest him. Sounds like the police heard him admit he'd really owed that much. Maybe he also admitted he kept getting drinks that he knew he couldn't pay for.

  Every club where I've run a tab took my credit card first and they didn't give it back until I closed out the tab. The same as bars.

  Looks like this guy made two mistakes – he did not pay his bill – and he was SCing in Boston.

  My ATF did a champagne room with 3 other girls and 4 guys for 2 hours (2 rooms @170.00 per hour each) .They had 6 bottles of Crystal champagne at $100.each & they paid each girl $1200. With waitress tips well over $6000.00she says there were no extras except one of the girls did lines of coke off a guys Dick. Now that's money well spent.

  Most of the high-end clubs here in NYC preauthorize your card for a decent amount, e.g. $200 to make sure funds are available. When you exceed that, they may even preauth another $200 to be sure. I can't believe this club didn't do something like that here.

  Also could have included dancer drinks. The ones at Columbus gold range from $20-$500 each

  Maybe so, but a "preauthorization" transaction is not a sales transaction to most CC APIs. The sales transaction is where money is (scheduled for) transferred. An authorization transaction only allows for sellers to be protected by proof the buyer has funding.
