As long as "Enquiring" minds want to know, they'll be someone to tell them...

Fenway,

I work at a bank and I can tell you it's a little more complicated than that. As a person of prominence, he is watched more closely than the regular American. Reason being is that the rules of money laundering have detected that figures in roles like his are more apt to and more able to commit crimes. Now, let's say that this whole mess had nothing to do with prostitution and that Spitzer was funding some criminal activities? Just as an example. This person or people at his bank that noticed the unusual activity are required by law to report something doesn't seem right. If they do not and it turns out that he is involved in criminal activity, they face jail time just as much as him. It sucks, but he would have had to have been making some very unusual moves to raise suspicion. I assure you if you take out $500 bucks from your account no one at the bank is going to bat an eyelash. If this was the case, he was moving money around in a way that was very suspicious probably in the attempt to hide it from his wife and others.

Maybe I am wrong to think how much more through the mud we should drag this man. I started off by saying what he did was wrong. I personally think it's a moral issue not a legal one. Maybe I am wrong to have feelings for his daughters and wife, not to mention his mother. June, never having the money Mr. Spitzer has I didnt think about the things you mention. The thousands he was tossing around, seemed liked the hundreds I might have been. I should be so lucky. I guess this is the price we pay for fame.

The man did messup on the home front.Agreed?
But as a public offical he is under the microscope like someone from hollyweird.
If you have your face in the limelight,you are automaticly gonna be watched.Look at the news
on fox,msnbc,etc with so many out there.

I know during my drug and alcohol days, I brought shame and embarrassment to my family and friends. I thank God it was kept within my little group. I cringe every time I think of what my family must have went through. I can't imagine if what I did was a public matter. I speak publicly about my journey, by choice.

legend,

I would say that's not true. All the training I've received has never said, suggested or insinuated that something like that would happen based on the scenario you describe. Like I said earlier, the movement of money would have had to be highly unusual BUT ALSO, the movements of money is different from individual to individual. What may be considered unusual for you won't necessarily be considered unusual for say, Fenwaydav. It's very detailed and pretty complex and not a one size fits all type of thing. I can assure you of that. Now....will it change in the future with the way things are going in this country....who knows. No one knows what are future is going to look like and frankly, I don't feel to giddy about finding out. But right now and for the forseeable future, I certainly wouldn't worry.

Tom, if people read my blog, in no way am I condoning what this man did. My original thought was leave him alone already. Yes he is a public figure. Yes he made whoopie with a prostitute. The man has millions and I will bet my life N.Y. State funds were never used. He made some bad choice's. He payed with the lose of his job and probally family. June says the bank was doing what was right. I trust and believe June. I still sounds to Big Brotherish to me. Least we not forget a certain President who supposedly had someone under his desk while he was conducting U.S. affairs. Like I mentioned above (and several other blogs) about my own indiscretions. Thank God people were able to forgive me for some of the horrible things I did in my life. They have not forgot and they should not, but I don't have it thrown in my face every day of my life. Even though I rectified my wrongs (the best I could), I will carry to the grave some of the hurt I have caused. I hope you who are saying good for him, can look back on your pure life and see no sin.

Fact of life: "the sins of the father are visted on the son."

Period. wnat it to change, Stop sinning.
