The Spitzer Plot Thickens: Was it Money or Sex?

According to ABC News, the revelation that Eliot Spitzer was involved in a prostitution ring was originally a completely different investigation.

Suspicious money transfers piqued the interests of the IRS and the FBI, who investigated him under the Public Corruption Squad under order from the Justice Department. The abnormal transfers were originally believed to be bribes that Spitzer was hiding.

However, it was revealed that transfers to a company called QAT, another name for the Emperors Club, the prostitution ring that was being investigated.

Governor Spitzer was known as Client 09 in the investigation into the prostitution club, which demanded at least $3100 an hour. He, paid for, along with the fee, "Kristen's" train tickets, cab fare, mini bar and room service, travel time and hotel.

The Justice Department revealed that he could be prosecuted for "structuring", which is shifting around funds in order to hide their true purpose.

It seems like Governor Spitzer's future is becoming more and more questionable as the details reveal themselves.
