What do Paul Wayne Bergrin, Esq. and Eliot Spitzer, Esq. both have in common?
Without question, both were state prosecutors, both were federal prosecutors  as U.S. Attorneys within our DOJ, and both had a long history of financial transactions with organized crime ... including at a minimum prostitution rings. 

An arguable difference is in murder charges.  Paul W. Bergrin is facing a murder charge in connection with the killing of a witness against one of his former drug dealing clients.  There have been no public charges of murder against Eliot Spitzer, though there was the purported suicide of the retired NY State Trooper who had been on official duty while Eliot Spitzer was using taxpayer dollars to travel across state lines and meet with prostitutes.  (see the Mann Act).  But then again, so far there have been no charges against Eliot Spitzer, notwithstanding irrefutable evidence of solicitation, Mann Act, and money laundering violations in connection with his prostitution ring involvement.

Eliot Spitzer connection to Paul Bergrin, Esq.

Intellegent people like to connect-the-dots.  Sometimes DOJ officials are intellegent and willing  to connect-the-dots among organized crime families, like the mafia and the Neo-Mafia.  Besides the many similarities between Spitzer and Bergrin in terms of violations of oaths and DOJ & State Prosecutors office resumes, we have a direct connection to the same organized crime family operations.  It's not just that they were both doing business with prostitution rings, but their criminal conduct overlapped into the same crime family ring.

NewMedia news providers outside the corrupt influence of the Spitzer Family have already drawn the links among Eliot Spitzer, Ashlee Dupré, her pimp Jason Itzler, and Paul W. Bergrin.  How "shocking" that the organized crime of Paul Bergrin is only uncovered after Eliot Spitzer's downfall.  How many other leafs of the organized crime tree connected to Eliot Spitzer were ratted out in order to buy Spitzer's continued freedom?  Did you have "business" with Spitzer?  If you wait for the ax to fall on your head it will be too late.  Better to cut a deal for a book and/or your freedom now.  An ounce of prevention is worth 10 or more years of cure.

Unfortunately for Mr. Bergrin, the big difference between him and Eliot is the half billion dollar (plus or minus) Spitzer Family fortune which has always been the defining (and defending) characterstic which molded and enabled the anomalous oxymoron of public service and corruption we sadly know as "Eliot Spitzer".  In any event, Mr. Bergrin's loss is a gain for truth and justice...

Looks like Mr. Bergrin got caught engaged in racketeering, running a prostitution ring, witness tampering, money laundering, and murder.  The only surprise here is that his central practice was not bankruptcy law.  However, he did engage in running a Prostitution Ring just like his fellow lawyer Louis J. Posner who our readers know is the bankruptcy attorney whose Hot Lap Dance Club thrived right under the "Sheriff Of Wall Streets" massively corrupt nose.

Even a former U.S. Attorney can get indicted for his role in running a Prostitution Ring.  A form of organized crime by the way, like the one that Eliot Spitzer did business with.  And of course, for the first set of charges against him, Paul Bergrin, Esq. merely took a plea.   We'll follow the prosecution of the murder charges.  And let's not forget his lovely wife Barbara Bergrin, or his girlfriend Yolanda Jauregui both of whose names appear listed in the prosecutions papers, if we recall correctly.
