Sex 'Booker' For Eliot Spitzer, Ashley Dupre Pleads Guilty

Tania Hollander, 36, became the fourth and likely last person to plead guilty in the sex scandal that exposed Ashley Alexandra Dupré as former New York Gov. Elliot Spitzer’s high-priced call girl. The scandal led to Spitzer’s resignation and launched Dupre to national prominence. Hollander's lawyer described her as a minor character in the scandal, but she could face up to five years in jail.

Hollander, 36, of Rhinebeck, N.Y worked as a booker for the Emperors Club VIP, the high-priced New Jersey-based call girl ring that eventually hired Dupre. Hollander told the court she began looking for work early last year to supplement her job as a holistic health counselor. "She did not intend to get involved in a criminal enterprise," said Michael Farkus, her attorney, in a telephone interview with the Poughkeepsie Journal.

Farkus told the paper Hollander took assumed she was taking a job as receptionist and booking agent when ring kingpin Mark Brener, 62, of Cliffside Park, N.J., offered her the job. When it became apparent that it was an illegal activity, Hollander admitted she did not walk away, Farkus said. "That's why she's guilty.”

U.S. District Court Judge Deborah A. Batts asked Hollander if she knew she was engaging in an illegal activity. "It became apparent," Hollander replied.

Brener pled guilty to conspiracy to commit prostitution and conspiracy to commit money laundering. His former girlfriend Cecil Suwal, 23, formerly of Hopewell Junction. Suwal managed the business with Brener and also pleaded guilty to money laundering, conspiracy and conspiring to promote prostitution. Temeka Lewis, who lives in Brooklyn, pleaded guilty to promoting prostitution and money laundering last May.

Neither Spitzer nor Dupre have been charged in the probe that began last summer after a series of investigators were tipped to a number of suspicious banking transactions by Spitzer. The ex-governor resigned March 12 after he was identified as "Client-9." He had met with a prostitute known as "Kristen" in a Washington, D.C., hotel the night before Valentine's Day was outlined in an affidavit filed in connection with the case. Kristen was later identified as Dupre.

A large number of shell companies have cropped up too. And someone at the NY State department has been altering the information on the database.

Documentation supplied by the NY State Department showed that the Emperor’s Club shell company, Qat International, Inc. has the same registered agent and NY Dept. of State processor as does Luxury Specialist, Inc.

Luxury Specialist, Inc, was an entity name of Co-Arc South St., LLC. Both were filed within days of each other in different counties.

Then New Star Enterprises, Inc is also an entity of Co-Arc South St., LLC. But this was back in March 2008.

The original March data showed Co-Arc South Street, LLC as the Dept. of State processor, then it was changed. The Dept. of State processor and registered agent was the same as Qat’s, (the shell company for Emperor’s Club where the money was filtered through). Co-Arc now shows as being totally removed from the picture. hmmm, who is doing the deleting?

March 2008 data is preserved nicely here for all to see:

Neither Spitzer nor Dupre have been charged in the probe

So engaging in prostitution is legal for "johns" and "hookers" and it's only illegal when you are the scheduler? Strange law.

And from that ‘update’ thread:

>>>Campaign finance records show that Ms. Stiles, 31, was paid about $6,460 monthly for consulting the Spitzer 2010 committee<<<

Was that the same committee that was signed up as a member to StonewallVets.org?

Events for Spitzer2010.com listed here: http://www.stonewallvets.org/recent_past_events_2007.htm

Well, I guess, why not. They had great success with PRIOR Spitzer Committee Events. N.Y.S. Attorney General Eliot L. Spitzer (www.Spitzer2006.com): http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1794584/posts?page=1#1

Brings us back to the circle jerk of Lou Posner’s money laundering through Voter March which is also connected to Stonewall.

For his two state campaigns, Spitzer spent a total of about $12M, mostly personal funds and bank loans. Spitzer borrowed about $5M from his father to help settle loans, and was earning $200,000 a year consulting for his father.

Between 2000-2004, the "father's charity" gave $101,000 to NARAL's foundation. NARAL also gave $10,500 to Spitzer's two campaigns..... and endorsed him.

The Bernard and Anne Spitzer Charitable Trust - on which Eliot, Daniel and their parents are board members - gave a total of $66,000 in 2004 to NARAL Pro-Choice New York, the radical abortion rights group; the Drum Major Institute, a think tank; and the Progressive America Fund, a voter mobilization effort. These groups, whose leaders backed Spitzer for governor, received $75,000 from this "charity" between 2000 and 2003.

Donations to Spitzer's political allies were apparently a fraction of $2.6 million (?) the Spitzer Foundation supposedly awarded in 2004.
