NEW YORK - Some of the hundreds of millions of dollars in litigation penalties paid by major US corporations including Enron, Micron Technology and Samsung likely made its way to prostitutes charging as much as $5500 per hour.
According to the New York Times, prosecutor-turned-New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, an integral party to the anti-corporate lawsuits, has confessed to his involvement in an elite prostitution ring.
In his years as Attorney General Spitzer had served as key prosecutor in court cases that bilked crippling sums of money from major US companies, their vested employees, and numerous unsuspecting shareholders. Perhaps most notable was the collapse of Enron under Spitzer's purview.
The notoriety and wealth resulting from these cases afforded Gov Spitzer the luxury of self-confessed indulgences with dozens of high-priced prostitutes across the country, all members of sex club Emperors Club VIP.
Red-faced by Spitzer's admissions, a reporter from Time Magazine - which in 2002 proclaimed Spitzer 'Crusasder of the Year' - stated that this prostitution-related expose "may give new interpretation to the title of the 2007-published Spitzer bio The Rise of Eliot Spitzer."
