In the sultry shadows of a Miami gentleman’s club, an unsuspecting patron’s private dance took a dramatic turn into the twilight zone of grand theft and credit card fraud. The police have named Yannelin Rivera-Bosaw, a 34-year-old exotic dancer, as the prime suspect in a night of revelry turned heist that left one man out a wallet and $62,000 lighter.
The Playmates Club, nestled inconspicuously on 3875 Shipping Ave., became the crime scene when the unsuspecting man decided to indulge in some evening entertainment. He specifically requested Rivera-Bosaw and a quintet of her colleagues to provide him with a private performance. Little did he know, the night would descend into a cocktail of chaos and criminal activity.
As Rivera-Bosaw skillfully executed her provocative dance, the other women followed suit, enveloping the patron in a vortex of allure and seduction. The unsuspecting man found himself the recipient of a relentless onslaught of tequila shots, served by none other than Rivera-Bosaw. Soon, the man was incapacitated, unable to exercise control over his faculties, let alone make a dignified exit.
His vulnerability exposed, Rivera-Bosaw allegedly seized the opportunity to plunder his wallet and smartphone. The victim, incapacitated, was rendered helpless to react as the women masterfully diverted his attention with their tantalizing dances. Deceptive whispers filled his ears, assurances from the dancers that the flowing liquor was a courtesy of the house, adding to his state of euphoria.
The first rays of the dawn found the man recovering his senses enough to realize his missing credit cards and exit the club. The cold reality hit him even harder the following day when he discovered a jaw-dropping $62,345.91 in charges, credited to Playmates Bar and Grill and Triple Vision – the LLC behind the strip club.
Upon scrutinizing his financial transactions, the man found six unauthorized PayPal transfers from his mobile to Rivera-Bosaw’s bank account. His Chase, American Express, and Wells Fargo accounts were bled dry in favor of Playmates Bar and Grill.
In a surprising twist, the victim unearthed Rivera-Bosaw’s number on his cellphone. A baffling revelation suggesting Rivera-Bosaw had taken the audacious step of entering her number to facilitate the unauthorized transfers.
When interrogated, Rivera-Bosaw astonishingly admitted to receiving the money but insisted that the victim had given her consent. Her narrative unraveled when she mentioned the involvement of five anonymous women, whose identities she conveniently claimed ignorance of.
In an incriminating turn of events, a subsequent search of Rivera-Bosaw’s phone revealed evidence against her. A text message to a friend and husband laid bare a snapshot of the PayPal transactions, along with her frustration about one of the victim’s accounts being canceled. The police also found messages concerning the illicit sale of human growth hormones and anabolic steroids at Playmates Club.
Rivera-Bosaw, ensnared in her own web of deception, was arrested and transported to Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center. Her alleged actions have sent ripples through Miami, proving that sometimes, even in the glittering world of nightlife, all that glitters is not gold.
