THE GOOD NAME HE DRAGGED IN THE DIRT (used his best friend's name as alias)
NY POST ^ | March 11, 2008 | ED ROBINSON

Posted on 03/11/2008 9:26:17 AM PDT by Liz

Spitzer used George Fox as his alias in his prostitute hookup; Fox is a high-powered hedge-fund manager, and political donor - one of Spitzer's best buddies. Spitzer used George Fox checking into a hotel to rendezvous with the call girl......Fox donated $140,000 to Spitzer's campaigns back to 1998, disclosure records show. He travels in well-heeled circles, with movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, Cablevision's Jim Dolan and actress Bernadette Peters at fund-raisers for Spitzer......Fox's founded Titan Advisors 16 years ago, according to its Web site. Fox began as a Coffee, Sugar and Cocoa Exchange and Commodity Exchange floor trader. He created his own hedge-fund in 1992. He rolled his $650 million business into Titan in 2001.

Wouldn’t it be funny if George Fox used Eliot Spitzer as an alias in his liaisons? ROTFL.

That description doesn't necessarily indicate "good name."

Lets read this a little more closely.

George Fox is a big time donor to Spitz and a good friend.

Spitz uses his name to buy hotel rooms and Hookers.

Does Fox know that Spitz was doing this, and in fact was it a way to hide illegal campaign donations and not have records tied to Spitz?

Was George Fox in fact the one paying off Spitz in expensive gooch?

My cynical knee-jerk reaction is that they were both involved with call-girls, Spitzer (since he’s already sunk) is covering for Fox.

Soros angle!

RYE, N.Y. (HedgeWorld.com)—The recently formed Titan Advisors group, which includes two émigrés from Soros Fund Management, is expected to launch its first fund of funds in early May with about $30 million under management. “We expect the fund to hit about $100 million under management by the end of the year,” said Thomas Holliday, Titan principal, who had previously helped research outside managers for Soros Fund Management.

The team behind Titan also includes Douglas Reid, who departed Soros only three weeks ago after a five-year run as director of banking and finance for the Quantum Fund. The two ex-Soros pros will work alongside George Fox, who is rolling his established $650 million investment management business into Titan Advisors. Mr. Fox will serve as president of the newly formed firm.

How can you check into a hotel without a credit card with your name on it? If cash they want a d/l. Every hotel I have been to at least.

I remember that when sportscaster, Marv Albert, who had a thing for forced sex, cross dressing, and threesomes was arrested for sexually assaulting some hotel employee, he had been using his brothers name, Steve Albert, as his alias when getting the hotel rooms, booking prostitutes, etc.....
I’m sure his brother was thrilled to hear that.

anytime you pay cash at a hotel that charges $1000 per night there are never questions asked. Period. That’s what you are paying for. Privacy absolute.

offical statement:

http://www.wnbc.com/politics/15564094/detail.html

The following is a statement from a spokesman for George Fox, whose name Spitzer is said to have used as an alias:

Published reports indicate that Governor Eliot Spitzer allegedly used the name “George Fox” as an alias in the activity currently under investigation. Mr. Fox has known Governor Spitzer for more than 20 years and has been a supporter during the Governor’s various political campaigns.

The news that his name may have been used as an alias comes as a great surprise and disappointment. Mr. Fox only became aware of Mr. Spitzer’s alleged activity when informed of it Monday morning by the media. There is absolutely no connection between Mr. Fox and the Governor’s alleged activity beyond the unauthorized use of his name.

Mr. Fox considers Governor Spitzer a close friend and is distressed by the news that has emerged.

FOX'S STATEMENT The news that Spitzer alleged used his name an alias comes as a great surprise and disappointment to George Fox (Spitler's best friend and donor). Mr. Fox only became aware of Mr. Spitzer’s alleged activity when informed of it Monday morning by the media. There is absolutely no connection between Mr. Fox and the Governor’s alleged activity beyond the unauthorized use of his name.

Now we have proof positive, with his own words, that Fox was involved---perhaps using his Titan Advisors hedge fund bank accounts to launder money to the hooker ring for Spitler.
