Not Too Late to Catch QAT

Scandal trivia buffs, you're in luck: QAT Consulting's website is still live.
QAT Consulting, of course, was the shell company through with Governor Eliot Spitzer of New York funnelled at least some of his payments to the call-girl ring that resulted in his resignation today.
The home page of the actual escort service — Emperor's Club V.I.P. — was disabled soon after its link to Spitzer became widely known. (Copies of that page are still available elsewhere, however.)
For some reason, though, no one has pulled the plug on QAT Consulting. While the site is not going to win any Web design awards, it does give some idea of the cover it offered clients of the prostitution ring.
Among the "services" it offers are financial, marketing, and design — a variety wide enough to accommodate all sorts of well-heeled clients. It helpfully adds: "Our services are comprehensive and hands on."
It also assures potential customers: "As our client, you will be protected with 'attorney- client privilege of information,' as defined and secured by the Law of the United States — your privacy is strictly yours and your business/tax affairs will always remain yours private matters." (Clients 1 through 8 must hope that dubious promise is true.)
One last thing: Customers needn't have paid with bundles of cash in plain envelopes, as Spitzer is accused of doing.
QAT Consulting accepted PayPal.
