One thing is for sure, the agencies that Spitzer used as Governor were not threatened by him when he was AG and they were doing just fine when he was AG.
One thing that is a little funny is that one of the girls claimed Spitzer was paranoid about making deposits. Deposits were required by the Emperor's Club for the bookings he was making. In fact, when he was caught, it was making a wire transfer of monies that were in the nature of a deposit, which he had attempted to break down into smaller deposits. The feds thought Spitzer was trying launder monies received as bribes until they found out where those "laundered" monies ended up - in a company that was a shell for the monies being received by the escort agency. They never found any evidence that Spitzer accepted bribes and in fact all of the money he used to hobby - reportedly well over $100,000 - were his own personal funds, as it should be.
This is why Spitzer is now allowed to have a political talk show on CNN. That, and when he was AG in New York he was one of the best and he whipped the ass of CT's Attorney General (Blumenthal, now running for US Senate) in Court, on an income tax dispute.
