Miami, Florida, stripper busted for stealing $62k from patron

She thought she’d landed in the lap of luxury.

A Miami stripper was arrested this week for plying a patron with tequila then using his credit card and PayPal information to funnel $62,000 out of his accounts, according to police.

Yannelin Rivera-Bosaw, 34, was one of several women who performed lap dances for the victim in a private VIP room at Playmates last Friday, Miami cops said.

Claiming it was on the house, the whirlwind of women repeatedly poured tequila shots down the man’s throat until he became so drunk he could no longer stand, according to Local 10.

As her colleagues gyrated at close quarters to keep the victim distracted, Rivera-Bosaw relieved the unidentified mark of his cell phone and wallet, according to police.

Finally able to muster the balance to leave around 4 a.m., the man later realized he was missing the items and began to check his accounts.

He noticed six unauthorized PayPal withdrawals to an unknown person, along with an unfamiliar flurry of charges to his Chase, Wells Fargo and American Express cards.

The damages amounted to a total of $62,345 in just a matter of hours.

The victim later realized that Rivera-Bosaw inputted her number into his device in order to send herself payments, and called police.

She told detectives that she initiated the transactions, but claimed that the victim authorized them.

Skeptical investigators found texts she sent to her husband and a friend complaining that the man had cancelled one of her PayPal transfers.

Rivera-Bosaw now faces a slew of fraud raps.

Police also found evidence on her phone that she was selling illegal growth hormone and steroids to clients from her strip club, according to the report.
