Of course, it's Florida.

I don't predict much success with this lawsuit.

Former escort kingpin Arthur "Big Pimpin' Pappy" Vanmoor is known for his litigious nature. In the past decade, he has been a plaintiff or defendant in 29 lawsuits in Broward County alone. He has sued businesses that challenged him, police departments that investigated him, an assistant state attorney who prosecuted him and journalists who reported on him. But his latest suit has stunned even veteran court watchers.

Vanmoor, 46, has filed a federal lawsuit against six former customers of his escort service. He says they broke the law after purchasing time with his escorts, and it was their illegal actions that led to his arrest, incarceration and deportation, as well as the loss of his business. [...] Attempts to reach Vanmoor through his attorneys also were unsuccessful. Sibley said he assumes Vanmoor is still in the Netherlands, where he was deported after serving 18 months in prison for a 2004 racketeering conviction.

Chutzpah, baby. When you're running an escort service, you're known as Big Pimpin' Pappy, and then you sue customers for having sex with your, uh, employees, well, that's just special. Almost as special as his picture. The crux of his argument is that on the credit card slips that his customers signed for $245/hour company, there was a disclaimer: "Cardholder states that this transaction is not for illegal activity." This seems to me about as legally protective as the guys in high school who wouldn't sell you weed before asking, "Are you now or have you ever been a member of any law enforcement agency?" Because, y'know, that will totally work to keep you out of trouble.

I'll probably get sued any day now.
