Spitzer spends his riches on high end call girls, and is then sued by Riches.

By NBlack

Jonathan Lee Riches is infamous for his pro se pleadings, as more fully described in this recent Law.com article:  Boy Named Sue: Inmate Takes on Everyone from the Spitzers to Skadden Arps:

Thirty-nine percent of the 491 cases filed so far this month in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia have been filed by one man: Jonathan Lee Riches.

Among the defendants to his 192 suits are former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer and his wife, Silda; the firms Pepper Hamilton and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom; the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation; Hooters of America; Norwegian Cruise Lines Inc.; and investment banker Bruce Wasserstein. Riches? celebrity targets include actors Anne Heche, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones; musicians Cyndi Lauper and Eddie Van Halen; and Braves pitcher Tom Glavine.

Given the recent revelations about "Client 9" and "Tracee", I wouldn't necessarily be surprised to learn that the allegations in Riches' most recent, priceless and soon-to-be-a-classic pleading are true. 

Judge for yourself:
