[Have you seen a picture of this guy? No wonder it cost 5 grand a pop.]
I was thinking that as well.
And, in fact, what brought him down was the immense size of these financial transactions. They were so large that they tripped money laundering alarms.
If he had paid normal prices (no prostitute is worth more than $500), they could have been written off as meals in very expensive restaurants.
Spitzer created the system where banks would tattle on people for transferring $4000 here or there.
I really disagree with this wiretapping and betrayal of customers by banks...but Spitzer ruined a lot of lives by doing this so it was sweet justice to see him caught up in the same jaws.
About a wife knowing:
1) If you let your wife see all your finances, she will figure out when you are seeing other women.
2) If you let your wife snoop into your cell phone and computer, she will also know.
That being said, a man with backbone is not going to tolerate his partner snooping into his electronic tracks and it is advisable to have separate finances anyway. Any man who allows his partner to say “I would cut it off if you ever cheated on me” deserves to actually have it come to pass, because accepting that comment means that you’ve already been figuratively castrated anyway. :-)
Whatever happened to the star-eyed interns who used to give it out for free? My theory is that the old lesbian feminists, who ran Spitzer like a puppet, carefully chose staunch feminist interns and assistants for Spitzer.
It is clear that ZERO women in Spitzer’s professional environment were sexually attracted to him, which doesn’t necessarily say something about his strange looks as much as it reflects what happens when you (and the New York State public) glorify anti-male feminism.
I bet Schwarzenegger has nobody on his staff who admires him either...because modern political HR managers like it that way.
For anyone thinking “I think that all politicians should be surrounded by women assistants and coworkers who do not have a sexual interest in him”...I am not saying that married male politicians should actually sleep with their staff, but there is something very wrong with a society and the politicians when you consistently get situations where none of the female coworkers are attracted to the male politicians anymore.
If politicians cannot get that stuff for free, the price goes up and they are open to selling out our rights and interests to get it.
If Spitzer was into hanky panky, he should have had the backbone to tell his HR person that he would have the final word on who got hired and fired among his staff.
It is very clear by his desperation to pay huge prices for prostitutes that Spitzer was NOT in control of who got hired for his staff.
Who, then, controlled Spitzer’s staff?
The answer: radical feminists, who also told him when he could sit, when he could stand and when he could go to the bathroom.
Maybe Spitzer ran away on Valentine’s Day as a cry for help because he knew he was just a puppet of feminists he could not possibly have really admired.
If you combine this theory with the fact that he wanted to have unprotected sex with a prostitute, it is clear the man did not LIKE himself and certainly did not LIKE his wife.
I hope, after he helps get the Mann Act partially overturned (sex trafficking hype obscures real sex slavery and no old federal law should be allowed to stand that uses the catchall phrase “for immoral purposes”), the guy comes full circle conceptually and then helps the men’s rights movement map exactly who the radical feminists are who really run New York State.
