TheStreet.com ran a video<http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid1078966384/bclid1137812485/bctid1449580815>saying Spitzer made so many enemies on Wall Street that maybe this was a setup. Which is certainly an unusual piece of news for a financial site to run, maybe they knew more than could be said publicly.

The Gambino family that Spitzer made his initial reputation on by prosecuting is apparently the very same family that controlled the prostitution ring.

Revenge is a dish best served cold.

Sounds like people were lining up to take Spitzer down.And he gave them plenty of ammo. Calling up the bank and asking them<http://www.newsday.com/news/local/state/ny-stspitzerbank0312,0,4637246.story>to take his name off the bank transfers he did was breathtakingly stupid.
