The NY Post reports, Amy Sacco, once nightlife queen of NYC until filing for bankruptcy and shutting down her local hot spots (which included Chelsea club, Bungalow 8, and Restaurant Bette), has been hit with a $50,000 lawsuit in default judgements. A federal bankruptcy judge in White Plains granted the judgement last week to trustees who were liquidating EOS Airlines, a New York to London business-class only service, who Sacco was formerly a consultant for.

The trustees also sued both Bette and Bungalow 8 back in April 2010 for what they claimed were "fradulent transfers" that EOS paid just before filing for bankruptcy, which neither venue never responded to. Bungalow 8's judgement is for $19,571.95 while Bette's is $28,231.62, both as a result of payments they received from EOS.

In a statement from Sacco's accountant yesterday, she said “I don’t understand how anybody could hope to recover anything from businesses that have been out of existence for more than a year.”

Both clubs have been out of business for years now, Bette since mid 2008 and Bungalow 8 since late 2009.
