The story about New York Governor Eliot Spitzer is heavily focused on the prostitution angle, yet the real reason he got busted was due to his unknowing involvement in a money laundering investigation. Larry Dignan writes an interesting story on the information system that brought down Spitzer and the proprietors of the prostitution ring. The network has been in place for sometime, yet its importance escalated following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
