Will Spitzer Be Indicted?

If he does get charged, it won't only be for soliciting a prostitute. Here are the different scenarios under which an indictment could be filed, via CBS:

- Money laundering for trying to conceal the source and recipient of financial transactions.
- Tax evasion, if he was a knowing party to an all-cash business that wasn't filing taxes.
- Violation of the Mann Act for paying for the trip from New York to D.C. by the call girl known as "Kristen."
- Misuse of state resources, if he used his state-issued credit card for hotels or meals with prostitutes as well as if he was being protected by State Troopers during his dalliances.
- And finally, soliciting prostitution.

If you work in the Dept. of Justice and have some inside information, you can make a small profit here.
