Investment bankers racked up $100,000s in prostitution charges
Visa, Mastercard or American Express? Or maybe a credit card from JP Morgan Chase?

Wall Street CEOs, lawyers, bankers and media executives chalked up thousands of dollars in prostitution charges on their corporate credit cards -- swiping their cards for $2,000 an hour prostitutes, according to a New York madam who pleaded guilty last year.

Kristin Davis, the madam in question, went public to ABC News this week; ABC will be broadcasting her interview Friday at 10 pm. Davis says she has a list of 9,800 clients, many of whom she says New York prosecutors deliberately avoided when taking her case, even though she offered them her annotated client list.

3. So what the f*ck are we going to do about this?
Do these bankers have an attitude of "Well, you didn't stop us and we didn't put a gun to your head for the bailout money, so f*ck you!"

Just like Republics: It's not a case of personal shame or moral dilemma; it's all about whether they can be caught or not.
