NY POST ^ | August 7, 2003 | LAURA ITALIANO and DAREH GREGORIAN

Call it an open-and-shut zipper case.

An accountant from Staten Island faces up to 15 years in prison on charges of embezzling $170,000 - money investigators say he spent almost entirely to buy oral sex from a woman he worked with.

A Monica? I guess they learned something from Clinton.

[gsrinok]

Anyone want to bet which politcal party this guy sends his donations to?

[wafflehouse]

i read this and thought.. 'just damn'

[Liz]

Heheh......maybe he made campaign donations to the "party of the people" with some of the stolen money.

[Liz]

There's a lot to learn from Clinton....and it's all bad.

[DB]

Don't you have to use a cigar for a full "Monica"?

[dwilli]

Why did I suddenly think about a garden hose and a tennis ball?

[goose1]

Man, she must be good.

[Liz]

.........either that or he was desperate.......

[Liz]

Heheh.....good one.

[martin_fierro]

For $170K she'd better be able to suck the chrome off a trailer hitch.

[E Rocc]

I wonder if he turned himself into the law for his own protection.

I'd be willing to bet that most in this union (certainly at the management level) thought that this was a private matter about sex only and not worthy of wasting the people's time and money investigating.........when it was Bill and Monica. Wonder what changed their minds?

[Liz]

......union enforcers could be pretty mad about this......

[NerdDad]

I wondered that too. My first thought when reading this was that the union would probably prefer to handle it as a private matter. Can you say foundation?

Maybe the union guys got mad 'cause they weren't getting any?

[Mannaggia l'America]

Asked how much money his client had already paid back, DeMateo said, "$280,000. And he only stole about $180,000."

Now, can't we just move on?

"Asked how much money his client had already paid back, DeMateo said, '$280,000. And he only stole about $180,000.'"

I'd say that was the case.

[Imagine]

I won't believe a thing until the dental records confirm that she is the one.....
