High-End Prostitute Bust has Some Folks on Wall Street Sweating
Published: Wednesday, 20 Jul 2011 | 4:49 PM ET

The indictments of 17 people on charges of running a high-end prostitution ring no doubt has some on Wall Street worried.

The prostitutes allegedly charged as much as $10,000 in a single night. Many of their customers were Wall Street clients, according to authorities.

Here's the Reuters write-up:

The prostitution service, named High Class NY, was run 24 hours a day out of an office in Brooklyn and charged from $400 to $3,600 an hour for its services, according to the 144-count indictment. It also provided customers with cocaine and other narcotics, the indictment said.

Hynes said clients often spent in excess of $10,000 in a single night.

Eric Cantor involved? I would peg him as a Cleveland Steamer on the chest type, unless he's into choir boys.
