Wall Street sugar daddy who fell for a Manhattan stripper sues to get back his Gucci scarf and $125,000 he lent her when COVID shut down his club
- John Leahy sues Aline Luz Dunga and her mother for $125,000 and a Gucci scarf he lent them for three years

A Wall Street financier is suing a stripper after he loaned her hundreds of thousands of dollars and a Gucci scarf when her club was shut down by COVID.
John Leahy, of Union, Michigan, filed the lawsuit against Aline Luz Dunga and her mother, Annalu Gomez, in Manhattan Supreme Court on February 24, alleging that they never repaid the money he lent them over a three-year period.
He claims in the lawsuit that he fell in love with Aline Luz Dunga when he met her at her job as an exotic dancer and thought they were in a serious relationship since he spent $125,000 to help her get through the global pandemic.
Leahy also claimed that he once lent Dunga his Gucci scarf, which she never returned, and helped pay for his mother’s cancer treatments and Massachusetts state taxes before they stopped talking to him.

Leahy claims he believed he was in a serious relationship with Aline Luz Dunga when he loaned her and her mother $125,000 over the course of three years.
According to the lawsuit, obtained by the New York Daily NewsLeahy created a kind of stimulus package for the struggling stripper, regularly loaning her money for “maintenance.”
He also spent several thousand to help Dunga’s mother, Gomez, pay for her state taxes and cancer treatments. Documents obtained by DailyMail.com show that Gomez had a history of bad loans in the past.
In total, he says, he doled out $125,000 from 2019 to 2021, believing that Dunga would eventually pay him back and that they were in a serious relationship.
‘Between the years 2019 and 2021, [Dunga] made false representations that she and [Leahy] they were in a legitimate relationship to induce him to make payments to his creditors for his support,” he explains.
He is now suing for the money back, as well as a Gucci scarf he lent to Dunga like the one seen here.
But the money dried up when Leahy finally realized in August 2021 that Dunga was only interested in his money, the lawsuit claims, at which point he forced her to pay back $10,000.
However, just a few months later, in November, Gomez borrowed an additional $6,000 to pay her Massachusetts toll and excise tax, and soon after borrowed another $8,000, according to the lawsuit.
She allegedly never paid Leahy back, and soon she and Dunga cut off all contact with Leahy while ignoring her pleas to refund the money, the lawsuit claims.
He is now asking a judge to force the two women to pay back all their money and return a Gucci scarf that he says he lent Dunga in 2021.

It is not clear if Dunga or Gomez have retained attorneys who can speak on their behalf.
