Wall Street CEOs, investment bankers charged prostitutes on corporate cards, madam says
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.

7. That's so nice of the Prosecutor's office, to go out of their way
to protect the rich Johns.

I wonder if they'll go out of their way to avoid prosecuting poor people when they are handed evidence of a crime. Somehow I doubt they'd be so generous.

But arresting rich people would cause a scandal, and would probably impact political donations. We can't have that. :eyes:
