Eight men testified that they blacked out and were then robbed of thousands of dollars while in bars in a wealthy Atlanta neighborhood. The events took place from November 2021 to last month, according to conversations with six of the victims and police reports filed by two others.
The men said they believed they had been drugged or described feeling intoxicated shortly before their phones were used to transfer thousands from their bank accounts. Five of the eight men also alleged that, while unconscious on the nights of their encounters, they were driven around Atlanta by people they did not know.
