Strippers, Lap Dances, Sex Toys Spur Lawsuit Against Financial Companies (video)

UPDATE:Quick settlement in lawsuit over strippers and sex toys at finance firmTINTON FALLS-- Several related financial firms are facing a lawsuit from three womenabout what they call a"Wolf of Wall Street" like culture -- including strippers, lap dances and sex toys -- in the office."I've been doing this a long time and this is probably one of the worst cases of a misogynistic environment I've ever seen," attorney R. Armen McOmber said.Nicole Orlando, Evelyn Grondski and Donna Simone allege in their lawsuit the related firms of Corporate Bailout, PLG Servicing, American Funding Group, Coast to Coast Fundingand managers Mark Mancino, Michael Hamill, Timothy Momat, Michael Marino, Patrick Sheehan and Daryl Alessi fostered "a corporate culture of a predatory lending and 'debt relief' firm that is so sexually aggressive, morally repulsive, and unlawfully hostile that it is rivaled only by the businesses portrayed in the films 'Boiler Room' and 'The Wolf of Wall Street.'"The lawsuit also alleged predatory lending and debt relief practices by these companies generated a "slush fund..used to pay for lavish personal purchases on the company books, (e.g., yacht, extravagant vacations for friends and family, and hotel rooms and gifts for certain employees with whom Individual Defendants are having sex)."The firms all share the same address of 30 Park Road, Suite 3, Tinton Falls.The workplace, the lawsuit alleged, "is permeated with sexual promiscuity, flooded with misogyny, swarming with provocatively dressed women, and infused with sex, drugs, and alcohol. It is the epitome of a sexually-hostile working environment."Among the allegations lodged in the lawsuit are that strippers were brought into the office on special occasions for lap dances, the office was decorated with sex toys and genital-themed garlands, and employees were required to sign "waivers stating the company intends to have 'lewd' activity in the office during business hours."Photos and video provided by McOmber show an apparent stripper performing in one of the offices and sex toys on desks.Anyone who refused to sign the waiver, according to the lawsuit, was "laughed at for being 'lame,' 'prude,' or a 'tight ass,' and employees who did not participate in the lewd activity were ostracized or terminated."The lawsuit also alleges Hammill and Mancino summoned a female sales representative to their office by yelling "Wendy, get your t-ts in here," and, while in the office, they took turns "motorboating" her breasts.Motorboating, as colloquially defined inthe lawsuit, is the term "for placing one's face in the area between a woman's breasts and blowing onto her skin while rapidly shaking one's head, thereby creating a sound similar to that of an outboard boat motor."Male managers, according to the lawsuit, also encouraged a female employee to lift her skirt and press her bare buttocks against a glass door for the entire office to see."Instead of reprimanding or disciplining the employee, as would be expected in any professional environment, Defendant Marino gleefully threw himself against the other side of the glass and began 'air humping' the female employee while proudly exclaiming 'how else could I respond to that!'" the lawsuit alleges.The firms also allegedly hired young, attractive women "for the specific purpose of having quid pro quo sexual relationships.""Older male managers obsessively pursue and engage in sexual relationships with younger female employees, and they use their money and power to coerce female employees into engaging in sexually promiscuous conduct in the workplace," the lawsuit alleges. "Purely for male employees to gawk at in the office, female employees are explicitly encouraged and sometimes required to wear 'crop tops,' backless dresses, and short skirts, among other provocative and skin-bearing clothing."The lawsuit continued: "In short, a clear double-standard exists. On one hand, employees who are willing to engage in the sexual debauchery are rewarded with raises, bonuses, gifts, and promotions that do not in any way correlate with skill, experience, or work performance. On the other hand, the few women (like Plaintiffs) who were not willing to participate in, or otherwise complained of, lewd conduct occurring in the workplace, are shunned, ostracized, and terminated."McOmber said his clients shouldn't have had to "put up" with this culture."They want to be a bunch of perverted frat boys and (my clients) won't put up with this," McOmber said. "No one should have put up with this. No one should have lose their livelihood because they don't want to be around this."Calls placed to the listed numbers forCorporate Bailout, PLG Servicing, American Funding Group, Coast to Coast Funding on Friday morning haven't yet been returned.Justin Zaremba may be reached .
