	How Eliot Spitzer got so powerful. - By Daniel Gross - Slate Magazine
		Spitzer was a young man in a hurry—literally.
		But Spitzer viewed his targets not as criminals who needed to be jailed but as professionals (and firms) with assets, careers, and reputations to protect.
		(Spitzer knew something about how hedge funds worked—he was an investor in James Cramer's hedge fund.) Again, Spitzer got his target to cooperate, and he was ultimately able to iron out a series of big-ticket settlements with major mutual fund companies like Janus, MFS, and Strong Capital.

		Elliot Spitzer wants to go into his New York gubernatorial run with a spotless record, and Sihpol, this nuisance, this ingrate who doesn’t appreciate the wonderful things Spitzer is doing for the world, stands in the way.
		Spitzer should have resigned his post when he declared his candidacy back in December.
		Spitzer also has other late-trading prosecutions on his calendar — against individuals from Security Trust Corp. and Canadian Imperial Holdings — and the conclusion of the Sihpol jury that late trading isn’t even a genuine crime is not a good precedent for that case.
