It is worth looking at the companies and stocks that
Spitzer has literally torn apart over the past several years during
his tenure as New York state's highest law enforcement officer. These companies were brutalized in the courts and had to spend hundreds of millions of dollars defending themselves, regardless of the eventual guilt or innocence. Careers were lost or forever changed. Fortunes were gained betting against these companies.
