It Wasn’t the Sex; Suspicious $$ Transfers Led to Spitzer
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.

Fascinating.
Interesting if true, with all the speculation of national security concerns maybe being the trigger, I'd be relieved if this turns out to be the case.
Wonder what pricked the FBI's ears to Spitzer's money transfers......?
