While monitoring the news wires for the latest news on the A.I.G. bonus-gate, something unexpected happened: I recalled my predicting parasitic corporatists on Wall Street were secretly plotting to oust Eliot Spitzer as the governor of New York.

Needless to say, they prevailed after someone tipped the authorities that the disgraced former governor was a regular client of the Emperors Club VIP, where he paid for $80,000-plus worth of sexual services.

As the A.I.G. bonus-gate scandal continues to unfurl, I am taken aback by the greed of A.I.G.’s top executives. As I posted this Web log entry, a recurring questions bombarded my thoughts: Was Eliot Spitzer ousted because of his hostility towards monster-sized corporations like A.I.G.? Who were the masterminds of the sting operation into which Spitzer was lured and trapped like a rat in a trap? Did Wall Streeters like Bernie Madoff feared that Spitzer was too close for comfort and planned the former governor’s untimely political demise?

We may never know the answers to these questions and many other related questions. However, one this is obvious: Eliot Spitzer was the most hated man on Wall Street.

The more I thought about the A.I.G. spectacle, the more I found myself questioning the timing of the FBI sting operation that ultimately ousted the hard-nosed Spitzer from office.

There are so many factors in the sex scandal that did not add up, one of which factors regarding how Spitzer was lured into contacting the New York City-based escort service for sex with high-priced call-girls like the Beachwood, New Jersey-born call girl — named Ashley Youmans/Ashley Alexandra Dupré/Kristen/Ashley Rae Maika DiPietro.

According to the federal government, Spitzer was the escort service’s regular client since he was Attorney General of New York, and later became Governor. The escort service referred to him as “Client 9,” while the high-priced call-girl was referred to as “Kristen.” Many of Spitzer’s political foes and Wall Street enemies continue to despise him to this day.

To many New Yorkers — many of whom deemed their former governor as “Mr. Clean” — the Spitzer sex scandal was bizarre… very bizarre.

Sadly, Spitzer squandered his chance to take on Wall Street. He could have exposed the A.I.G. bonus-gate scandal in its early phases, which would have made him a legendary crime fighter/hero like Elliot… Ness, whose own career soured after the former Treasury Department/Bureau of Prohibition agent’s success in Chicago.
