\"As time went on, the woman hoodwinked Brunner into thinking they were exclusive,\" accepting a house and several trips overseas.<\/p>\n
WASHINGTON COUNTY, ARKANSAS, Ark. A Washington County man is filing a lawsuit against a Las Vegas dancer after he says an \"extensive, fraudulent scheme\" lasting ten years cost him over $35,000,000, according to court documents. <\/p>\n
The lawsuit claims in 2014 the plaintiff, Fred Brunner, was going through a divorce and \"decided to go to a Las Vegas gentleman's club to smoke a cigar and have a few cocktails.\" <\/p>\n
That's where he met a woman. <\/p>\n
The woman, who was reportedly a dancer, \"made a significant amount of money from Brunner that night ... and learned Brunner was far wealthier than her normal patrons wealthy enough to change her life,\" the lawsuit alleges. <\/p>\n
The lawsuit claims the woman communicated with him daily while scheming to \"form a make-believe relationship\" with the ultimate goal of getting as much money out of him as possible. <\/p>\n
Over ten years, Brunner claims the \"woman hoodwinked him into thinking they were in an exclusive, romantic relationship.\" During this time, the lawsuit says she accepted a house and several trips funded by Brunner. Brunner also claims he would send financial support to the woman at \"her specific request.\" <\/p>\n
During the woman's alleged scheme, the lawsuit says she collected over $3 million from Brunner. <\/p>\n
\"Contrary to her countless representations to Brunner, the woman was in fact in a romantic relationship with another man in Las Vegas,\" the lawsuit says. <\/p>\n
Additionally, the lawsuit claims the woman gave some of Brunner's money to the other man. <\/p>\n
\"All along, she had no intention of following through on her representations, doing only what was necessary to keep Brunner from being suspicious,\" the lawsuit alleges. <\/p>\n
Brunner is seeking compensation and punitive fees from the woman amounting to $38,500,000, according to the lawsuit. <\/p>\n
