Follow The Money Trail
Come Monday, March 17 he will be known as former Governor Eliot Spitzer. He will also be known as the man who should have known better. He was a lawyer, the Attorney General of New York State, and someone who enforced law. But, obviously Spitzer thought he was above the law. In the end, as one law enforcement officer recently told me, he’s another example of a stupid criminal. That’s right folks, lets stop the pity-party-parade here for Spitzer and realize he’s nothing more than a criminal who bullied people and broke the law.
I’ve found it amazing how in this media-hyped sex-driven culture very few media outlets, or commentators, are talking about what really went on here. Instead, the sex scandal angle is pushed to the forefront, which in turn makes many people say – “Hey, it’s no big deal. It was just sex.” – Well, it goes beyond the sex scandal. As a matter of fact, it was Spitzers use of money, and transfering money around from one bank account to another bank account that led up to all of this!
That’s right folks, it’s less about sex and more about money.
For this very reason, Spitzer is in more trouble than many think. The case involving Spitzer started when banks noticed frequent cash transfers from several accounts and filed suspicious activity reports with the IRS. When the accounts were traced back to Spitzer, the case was then handed over to public corruption investigators. Once the FBI got involved, they set up wire taps, which in turn caught Spitzer in the sex scandal.
In other words, follow the money trail. This is less about sex and more about money. Eliot Spitzer was moving money around. Where did the money come from? I believe that’s where the real story is, and time will tell just how much of a criminal Spitzer really is.
It’s time to forget about Client 9 and wonder what Spitzer’s prison number might be.
Just my two cents,
