The owner of Los Angeles’s most infamous strip club is being sued over an alleged “fraudulent bait-and-switch” scheme he used to seize control of two rival clubs — which reads like an episode of HBO’s “Euphoria”. Craig Franze, the owner of The Body Shop in West Hollywood, then used the profits to fund a lavish lifestyle, with luxury cars, expensive jewelry and a $30,000-a-month rental property, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday. Franze’s former “best friend,” Bare Elegance strip club owner Mike Galam, and son Johnathan, filed the suit, which also levels accusations of sex trafficking, illegal alcohol and drug sales, and high-stakes underground poker games involving millions of dollars against the strip club owner and a man named Archie Donovan.
