Trying to figure out how someone (5.00 / 1) (#3)

as well known as Spitzer could come up with weven $5000 w/o attracting attention. I was on a hotel elevator in Manhattan.  Everyone on the elevator knew exactly who he was.

wouldn't recognize him?  He's not some semi-anonymous Congressman from Podunk.  He's the crime-busting governor of NY, future first Jewish president, and very unusual looking guy.

It's like putting a sign on your head that says "blackmail me."

He wore a mask. Not unusual given the, er, circumstances.

When you charge $3000 an hour, do you really need to resort to blackmail?  Heck, you can buy my silence for a fraction of that price.

Anyone who is willing to charge (5.00 / 1) (#40)

$3000 per hour for sex is going to be willing to extract a few dollars more for blackmail.

any high priced call-girl or agency who outed a client would put themselves out of business.

And it's against the call-girl honor code to out a client.
