Wow... how dumb can you be?

Its ridiculous that this guy basically became a politician based on ethics and he gets busted for this.

Check it out, these are the details of the ring from gothamist:

International Escort Ring Busted by Feds
A man and three women were arrested by the feds for overseeing an intercontinental prostitution ring catering to the upper crust of New York, Miami, LA, and Europe.

The women pictured on the Emperor's Club V.I.P. web site, now taken down, had their faces blurred but featured body shots alongside a one to seven diamond ranking system. Chintzy customers willing to go low-end could get a three-diamond lady for $1,000 an hour; seven-diamond pros cost $5,500 an hour and would be flown around the world. According to The New York Sun, the company also offered "investment services and deals on contemporary art."

The arrestees are Mark Brener, 62, and Cecil Suwal, 23, who live together in Cliffside Park, N.J.; Brener is the alleged mastermind while Suwal was the banker. Brooklyn resident Temeka Rachelle Lewis, 32, and Tanya Hollander, 36, of Rhinebeck, N.Y. were the alleged booking agents who assigned women to clients around the city and the world.

There is still an online site for Emperors Club Spokes Models, offering the professional talents of women in the same cities as the prostitution ring. There's no indication the women featured on the model site are prostitutes, although the logos of the two companies are highly similar.

How disappointing Playa wasn't the first to break this story. If he catches wind of this thread I'm sure his body members will be very active.

It's always the pious ones.

ALBANY - Gov. Eliot Spitzer has informed his most senior administration officials that he had been involved in a prostitution ring, an administration official said this morning.

Nathaniel Brooks for The New York Times
Governor Eliot Spitzer at a news conference in July 2007.
Mr. Spitzer, who was huddled with his top aides inside his Fifth Avenue apartment early this afternoon, had hours earlier abruptly canceled his scheduled public events for the day. He scheduled an announcement for 2:15 after inquiries from the Times.

Mr. Spitzer, a first-term Democrat who pledged to bring ethics reform and end the often seamy ways of Albany, is married with three children.

Just last week, federal prosecutors arrested four people in connection with an expensive prostitution operation. Administration officials would not say that this was the ring with which the governor had become involved.

But a person with knowledge of the governor’s role said that the person believes the governor is one of the men identified as clients in court papers.

The governor’s travel records show that he was in Washington in mid-February. One of the clients described in court papers arranged to meet with a prostitute who was part of the ring, the Emperors Club VIP on the night of Feb. 13.

Mr. Spitzer appeared on a CNBC television show at 7 a.m. the next morning. Later in the morning, he testified before a Congressional committee.

An affidavit filed in federal court in Manhattan in connection with that case lists six conversations between the man, identified as Client 9, and a booking agent for the Emperors Club.

He had a difficult first year in office, rocked by a mix of scandal and legislative setbacks. In recent weeks, however, Mr. Spitzer seemed to have rebounded, with his Democratic party poised to perhaps gain control of the state Senate for the first time in four decades.

Mr. Spitzer gained national attention when he served as attorney general with his relentless pursuit of Wall Street wrongdoing. As attorney general, he also had prosecuted at least two prostitution rings as head of the state’s organized crime task force.

In one such case in 2004, Mr. Spitzer spoke with revulsion and anger after announcing the arrest of 16 people for operating a high-end prostitution ring out of Staten Island.

“”This was a sophisticated and lucrative operation with a multitiered management structure,” Mr. Spitzer said at the time. ”It was, however, nothing more than a prostitution ring.”

Albany for months has been roiled by bitter fighting and accusations of dirty tricks. The Albany County district attorney is set to issue in the coming days the results of his investigation into Mr. Spitzer’s first scandal, his aides’ involvement in an effort to tarnish Majority Leader Joseph L. Bruno, the state’s top Republican.

I heard that referee Donaghy is tied to the ring with bets placed on certain clients. Some of the Gambling funds came from the Hurricane Katrina relief efforts and that's why the residents from Lower 9th Ward are still suffering. Donaghy uses Al Queda's banking institutions and sytems to transfer and launder large amounts of transactions.
