We’re all guilty of bad judgment at times, but this…

New Yorker Saul Vellegas got a $96,000 settlement from a car accident-related lawsuit last week. He took the money, put it all in a suitcase and went on to hire a trio of hookers to help him celebrate.

He booked himself a room at a cheap motel and met the hookers there. After they fulfilled their hookerly obligations, they suggested inviting a few friends to the motel who would bring booze and cigarettes.

That’s where things broke bad. The hookers’ friends were guys who busted into the room with guns and took off with the cash. The New York Post says Villegas is “haunted by this,” and that he was “depending on that money to move my family. I am nervous all the time now. I keep replaying it over and over. I see the weapon they used clearly over and over. I needed that money badly.”

Police are investigating.
