Comments on: Who says IT ain't sexy? Not Eliot Spitzer

Turns out that a regular, computerized report played a key part in connecting New York's governor to a prostitution ring.

Were the "shady bank accounts, checks and wire transfers" belonging to Spitzer? Or to the ring? Did the SARs flag Spitzer, or someone else? Dignan's article is not clear on this matter. Could you please clear that up for us?

Hi there, the details are still emerging, but overall the SARS flagged the ring, which appears to led the feds to Spitzer. More details are likely to emerge. In either case these transactions were picked up.

It is highly doubtful that that Spitzer's name came up because of a mandatory financial filing. There seems to have been an informant or something else at work here. It was just reported that one of the ring leaders from the "Emperor's Club" was an actual IRS agent. As more details surface I am sure this cover story will slowly evaporate and people will discover there is more at work here.

As per Spitzer, he is a prime example of a hypocrite.

Who cares who Spitzer was in bed with or if he paid for it? Aren't there real issues out there that actually affect our lives rather than an opportunity for the Republicans to get a Democrat?
