The crap gets deeper by the Minute. and so far, it’s waist high… Oy.
The Story: It Wasn’t the Sex; Suspicious $$ Transfers Led to Spitzer – (via ABC News)
The federal investigation of a New York prostitution ring was triggered by Gov. Eliot Spitzer’s suspicious money transfers, initially leading agents to believe Spitzer was hiding bribes, according to federal officials.
It was only months later that the IRS and the FBI determined that Spitzer wasn’t hiding bribes but payments to a company called QAT, what prosecutors say is a prostitution operation operating under the name of the Emperors Club.
As recently as this past Valentine’s Day, Feb. 13, Spitzer, who officials say is identified in a federal complaint as "Client 9," arranged for a prostitute "Kristen" to meet him in Washington, D.C.
This crap is getting nuttier, by the minute. I’m sure the Kossaks are working on some sort of a conspiracy theory.
This dude basically was running around with a damn neon sign that read, "I’m picking up whores, bust me now!"
Wow…. All I can say, is wow….
