New York Adult Entertainment: New Spitzer Hypocrisy In AIG Case
Spitzer’s assault on the New York Stock Exchange’s Ken Grasso, Ken Langone and Greenberg, while not also pursuing NYSE board member Carl McCall for fear of offending key African American political leaders, stands out as the kind of perverted justice Spitzer pursued. Spitzer made baseless charges against Greenberg, drove him from the company, and set the stage for AIG’s collapse.
Above all, while Spitzer was chasing-but not catching-guys on Wall Street, the Madoff scandal, where Spitzer does have jurisdiction, went on under his nose. Likewise, the New York State Pension scandal where associates of Spitzer’s fellow Democrat Alan Hevesi’s, raked off millions.
Spitzer’s avoidance of prosecution for money laundering and violation of the Mann Act (that is, transporting a woman across state lines for the purposes of prostitution (which a New York State Supreme Court Justice was convicted and jailed for in 2009), while the Madam who booked him prostitutes, spent four months on Rikers Island, is nothing but sexist.
