Savvis in trouble again

[giza]

Looks like Savvis is in trouble again. Not hosting spammers this time, but
for failing to pay American Express for $241K in charges that their
CEO ran up at a strip club!

I couldn't make this up if I tried.

This isn't the first time that people have said that Scores fradulently charged them:

I saw that too in the article, but Scores said that they normally get authorization for every purchase. And American Express seems to agree with them on the matter.

Besides, I think Savvis had it coming, given their past support of spam.

$241K? Holy crap.

I'm still trying to figure out how someone can spend a quarter of a million at a strip club in one sitting. You could almost buy the building for that much.

My first thought was “how would someone fit that much money into a G string?”.
