they took spitzer down because he used all these grey area business rules to take down some pretty decent businesspeople like AIGs Greenberg. Business is full of grey areas and most of what Spitzer was prosecuting people for were not technically crimes. He went after a lot of really popular people too, like Frank Quattrone out here, and defaced their character for political gain. The typical William Randolph Hearst behavior.

Well if you play with fire you might get burned and thats what happened to Spitzer. He was careless and somebody close to him turned him in for being such an SOB. Too bad because he did some good work.

But I for one would have been MUCH HAPPIER with Greenberg at the helm of AIG during this big mess, and I wonder if Greenberg would have made the same mistakes the current guys did. The whole episode at AIG that resulted in firing Greenberg reminded me of when they fired Steve Jobs at Apple.
