Ashley Alexandra Dupree could have learned a lesson from online casino sites, namely that Eliot Spitzer is not the person to associate with.

Spitzer's Call Girl
Dupree, the 22 year old blues singer, also known as Kristen, an alias she used when prostituting for the Emperor's Club VIP prostitution ring, has had her identity exposed, and her MySpace profile photo too.

Spitzer himself has announced his resignation from the Governor Office of the State of New York, after his use of the Emperor's Club services was exposed.

Spitzer's Personal History
Spitzer has a history in politics that precedes his days in the governor's Office, and even the nights spent with Dupree.

In 2002, then the State's Attorney General, Spitzer was in a strong position to force online casino sites to shut down, which he indeed used. His attacks, which were aimed at banks and credit card companies, were similar to the later the modus operandi adopted by the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA).

Spitzer's Banking History
Banking accounts? Those were the keys to the federal agents' investigation that led to Wednesday's resignation.

The investigation began, it was reported, when New York's North Fork Bank notified the Treasury Department about suspicious transfers involving Spitzer's accounts. The money did not go to online casinos, but rather to alleged organizers of a prostitution ring.

The transfer of $10,000 from his account was broken down into smaller transfers and asked by Spitzer himself not to be under his own name.

Spitzer Is History
Ashley Dupree is now a name known to all as Spitzer's call-girl. Her place in history is saved.

Spitzer's name too will appear in history books, and it won't be as the person behind the ban on online gambling as he would have liked it to be.
