demoRATS anti patriot act because: Spitzer Fall Began With Bank Reports By DON VAN NATTA Jr. and JO BECKER Published: March 13, 2008 Last July, the North Fork Bank raised a red flag about suspicious financial transactions involving Gov. Eliot Spitzer. But for several months, the electronic report languished unnoticed in a vast Treasury Department database in Detroit. In early fall, however, a separate report was filed by the HSBC bank about suspicious transactions connected to two shell companies, which drew the attention of investigators. That touched off an inquiry that led investigators to discover the July report on Mr. Spitzer, which showed he had made several wire transfers to those companies, according to three people briefed on the inquiry. When HSBC employees investigated the two companies, QAT International and QAT Consulting Group, they discovered that the bank’s files for the companies included virtually no information, one of the people briefed said.
