A Federal judge ordered Ricks Cabaret, a mid-town jiggle joint, to pay almost $11 million dollars in damages to strippers. The suit claims Ricks ripped off exotic dancers by retaining their tips and classifying the girls as independent contractors. By these claims the dancers were classified as contractors and Ricks didn't even have to pay the girls even minimum wage.

In a 51 page ruling by Manhattan Federal Judge Paul Engelmayer Ricks Cabaret could be liable to pay current and former dancers millions of dollars in lost wages. According to Bouncer Chronicles, the dancers are seeking nearly $19 million in damages in a class-action suit.
