Exotic Dancer "Strips" Lenders Of $4.9M In Twin Cities Straw Buyer Scam
- The stripper was buying houses like crazy. On Jan. 13, 2006, Irene Thomas, then a 22-year-old exotic dancer in St. Cloud, bought a $275,000 three-bedroom home in the Willard-Hay neighborhood in Minneapolis. Over the next three months, she went on a home-buying spree, picking up nine more houses - including one in St. Paul - at sale prices totaling more than $2.1 million.
