Revelations Began in Routine Tax Inquiry
The rendezvous that established Gov.

There, in the Hauppauge offices of the Internal Revenue Service, investigators conducting a routine examination of suspicious financial transactions reported to them by banks found several unusual movements of cash involving the governor of New York, several officials said.

It Wasn't the Sex; Suspicious $$ Transfers Led to Spitzer
Officials Say Spitzer Is 'Client 9' in a Federal Complaint Against the Prostitution Ring
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.

I just find it interesting that apparently he was an advocate against organized crime and prostitution during his time as Attorney General, and apparently was one of the bright and up-come stars of the Democratic Party...

Judging from the very brief interlude between the outing of Larry Craig and his L&O docu-episode... they're writing it as we speak, filming during the next two weeks, and it will air sometime in April?
ETA: the more interesting question I think is what will be the last-seven-minute-twist in true L&O style?

Do I want to know what a prostitute has to do to earn $5,500 an hour? Probably not...

Pretty quick turn-a-round, but they can do it.
Good thing the writers strike is over.
