It would not be surprising and ABC News had to vet its report on 2/9. To see that report, see http://thepoliticalcarnival.blogspot.com/2009/02/wall-street-madam-ceos-bankers-used.html.
ABC asked whether she is credible and stated in its report that her "meticulous records" include Wall street lawyers, investment bankers, CEOs and media executives often used corporate credit cards to pay for $2,000 an hour prostitutes.
ABC's question: "Can we take the word of a madam?" Their answer:
"Davis provided ABC News with a print-out of her computerized client list, the same one she says that was offered to the district attorney. The document shows Davis kept meticulous notes about her clients, their credit card numbers and mobile phone numbers. And here we have a veritable orgy of names (pun intended):
Among the names the network says it confirmed:
* a vice president of NBC Universal (owned by General Electric)
* the part owner of a Major League Baseball team who "loves Kelsey"
* the CEO of one of the country's largest private equity firms who met "Cameron" at the Peninsula Hotel
* a major New York real estate developer who, according to the list, "will come to the door wearing women's panties"
* a partner at the Wall Street law firm Cravath Swaine Moore "looking for a party girl to come fully equipped" and spent a total of $20,000
* an investment banker from Lehman Brothers who saw "Kelsey and Keely together" and later saw "Aria and Skyler at the same time"
* an investment banker at JP Morgan Securities who "loves Brooke" and spent $41,600
* an investment banker at Goldman Sachs who "only wanted all-American girls" and spent $27,000
* a managing director from Merrill Lynch who saw "Lana" using the name "Nataly"
* a managing director from Deutsche Bank "who called about seeing Nataly again"

I understand it's pretty routine to use credit cards for the transactions. We've been reading about the jets and the bathrooms and the bonuses...yeah, I believe her.

Do you believe the Manhattan Madam's claims to have the names of 10,000 high profile Wall Street clients?
She claims to have made millions by charging corporate credit cards for escort services. Could this just be a ploy to sell books?

• You make a good point...We're not just taking the word of a convicted criminal, but of a major news organization.

I do believe she is saying what she needs to say to promote the book, but this is Wall Street. However, she is a "madam", so she didn't have to service all 10,000 people herself. In any personal service business, the Rolodex is golden. I understand it's pretty routine to use credit cards for the transactions. We've been reading about the jets and the bathrooms and the bonuses...yeah, I believe her.

I don't doubt it at all, everything in Manhattan is usually a little higher priced, including escort services. As someone who has lived in Manhattan, and I need not say much more, but I someone in the legal profession brought this up in a conversation a few weeks ago as I was at a bar, and they seemed to be in the know. They said, "Could you believe some guys are paying for this with their corporate credit cards..." Likewise, corporate executives are not open about this, yet it's sometimes easy to see, and the word could get out. This madam is a smart marketer, and at the same time she is definitely promoting herself for a future book, movie, or story that can be told to the masses. There have been others before her who have written best selling books similar to this genre. Just do a search books at your favorite online bookseller, and you'll see that books written about those who have lived to tell the story. She isn't the first, Heidi Fleiss wrote and self-published an interesting hardcover book called Pandering and I'm sure there are plenty of others who have written their own stories. It's intriguing, because this madam may be selling books to her former Wall Street clients as repeat customers in a round about way.
