New York, February 7 : The chief behind the high-priced prostitution ring, the involvement with which led Eliot Spitzer to resign from his post of New York State Attorney General, has been slapped with a sentence of 30 months in jail.
Mark Brener, founder of the Emperors Club VIP, which went down along with Spitzer's resignation, could have faced a reduced prison term had the former governor not been a customer, according to Brener's lawyer Murray Richman.
"This is obviously collateral damage from the Spitzer situation," the New York Daily News quoted Richman as saying.
