New York Governor Eliot Spitzer Wiretapped with Emperors Club VIP Prostitution Ring

10 Mar

By USLaw

Spitzer #9 Married NY governor Eliot Spitzer has been recorded on federal wiretap making arrangements to met with an Emperors Club VP prostitute in Washington, DC on February 13th, the night before he testified before c Congressional Committee. He was referred to in court papers in the case as “Client number 9.” Spitzer, 49, has three daughters.

As attorney general, the sanctimonious Spitzer had prosecuted at least two prostitution rings as head of the state’s organized crime task force. In one such 2004 case, 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.” And he appears to be nothing more than a hypocrite.

The ‘Lady’ Hits a Divorce Court Jackpot

26 Feb

By USLaw

A four year marriage and a predicted $108 million settlement. That’s what Heather Mills, aka Lady McCartney, is expected to walk away with after a week in divorce court. Only in Britain can a failed marriage to a billionare lead to such a large jackpot in such a short amount of time.

In my divorce guidebook for women, He Had It Coming: How to Outsmart Your Husband and Win Your Divorce, I warn all short-term brides to be realisitic — don’t expect to cash in on your failed marriage if you haven’t been in the game long enough to aquire joint marital assets. But apparently in England, the courts have a different take on marriage and money. Between $5 million dollars a year in child support until their daughter is 18 (Heather andf Paul share a daughter, 4-year-old Beatrice) and the rest made up in settlement money, Heather’s jJob” as Mrs. Paul McCartney will likely have netted her approximately $27 million a year.

For a wife who handled her divorce completely wrong, Heather will nonetheless clean up in divorce court. British courts are known to dole out extremely generous divorce settlements. But I am convinced that a short-term marriage McCartney-like divorce settlement never would have happened here in America. Stateside, our courts rely on the principles of equity and fairness to divide assets, examining an array of factors such as the earning capacity of the spouses, contributions to the marriage, and the value of assets. So if you are in the midst of divorce or contemplating ending your marriage, don’t look to Heather Mills as an example of how to behave in divorce court. Her success occurred only because she is lucky enough to live under the Queen’s rule.
