In 1999, Mr. Dinallo was hired by Mr. Spitzer to run the attorney general’s investor protection bureau.
Mr. Dinallo said the biggest accomplishment of his years as a public servant remains the 4 1/2 years he worked with Mr. Spitzer. Mr. Spitzer brought cases against Merrill Lynch, Bear Stearns, Citigroup and other investment houses for faulty analyses, conflicts of interest and other financial irregularities in an era when Mr. Dinallo said federal regulators were “asleep at the switch.” The financial giants paid $1.4 billion in settlements.
“I think my work on Wall Street cases and my reinvigoration of the Martin Act helped transform that office into the powerhouse you see today,” Mr. Dinallo said.
He said Mr. Spitzer, whose 15 months as governor ended in a prostitution scandal in 2008, was a “terrific” attorney general.

… Trust’ Paul Weitz’s slender comedy about domination and worthlessness — as literally embodied in sadomasochism — feels like a series of New Yorker cartoons that never quite leave the drawing board. But there’s smooth and gutsy acting from Zach Braff, Bobby Cannavale, Sutton Foster and Ari Graynor, directed by Peter DuBois (2:00).

‘Viagara Falls’
In this ill-advised geriatric comedy, Lou Cutell and Bernie Kopell play widowers in their 70s who invite a prostitute over for what they hope will be a night of sex, aided by Viagra. The jokes are generally pale and obvious, the crassness level is high, and no one looks comfortable, especially not Teresa Ganzel, who has the thankless job of playing the prostitute (1:30).

Police shut down house of prostitution; neighbors shocked
A man empties the trunk of his car following a two-week vacation. Next door, a couple work on their garden and across the street a statue of the Blessed Mother sits on a front lawn. It’s suburbia on Commonwealth Avenue in Massapequa—except for the house of prostitution around the corner.

Adam Clayton Powell IV, who is trying to unseat embattled Rep. Charles Rangel, was caught taking thousands of dollars of campaign donations from the owner of Bronx strip club Sin City. The Daily News confronted and browbeat Powell into promising to return the money yesterday, telling him about owner Konstantine (Gus) Drakopoulos, who pleaded guilty to insider trading in 2002 and was recently slapped with a racial and sexual harassment suit by dancers at his club.
“Wow,” Powell repeated six times, “I don’t want to hear any more. Jesus Christ, that’s quite a resume…I’m going to return the money. I want no part of anybody like that.” Drakopoulos claims he gave Powell five $1,000 donations this spring, though Powell says there were only three checks, which he said he returned Wednesday. The News sounded even more excited than that time the “bumbling New York Post reporter was busted”.

As previously reported, the city of New York has agreed to award family and friends of Sean Bell $7 million for the fatal shooting of the unarmed Black man on his wedding day.
The settlement filed Tuesday will pay $3.25 million to the estate of Sean Bell and $3 million to Joseph Guzman and $900,000 to Trent Benefield, two of Bell’s friends that were with him injured in the shooting.
The lawsuit filed by Bell’s fiancé Nicole Paultre-Bell accused the city of wrongful death, negligence, assault and civil rights violations.
Three police officers were acquitted of multiple charges including manslaughter in 2008 for the 2006 shooting of Bell, as he left his bachelor party on his wedding day.
Officers fired 50 shots into Bell’s vehicle outside of a NYC gentleman’s club, one even stopping to reload before firing 31 shots into the unarmed Black man’s car.

… Ye recently spoke on his breakup from stripper-turned-model Amber Rose, explaining that it was time to close that chapter in his love life. “It was an amazing time and it came to an end,” he said in a radio interview. “My goal in life is to really have an amazing woman and have a family, but I think I had to go through these different things to grow.”

Adam Clayton Powell IV, who is challenging Rep. Charlie Rangel in the September 14 Democratic primary in NY-15, was told at a press conference yesterday that one of his major donors pleaded guilty to insider trading in 2002, and has been slapped with multiple racial and sexual harassment suits by dancers at his Bronx strip club, “Sin City.”
“I don’t want to hear any more. Jesus Christ, that’s quite a resume,” said Powell.
“I’m going to return the money. I want no part of anybody like that,” Powell said, according to the New York Daily News, when he heard about the legal troubles of Konstantine Drakopoulos. “Wow,” he said, six times.
Powell did admit he knew that Drakopoulos, who according to federal records gave Powell five donations of $1,000, was a strip club owner: “I honestly don’t know [when I learned about the strip joint],” he said. “I know he owns it. I haven’t been there.”

We talked a bit yesterday about the Post’s constituency of New Yorkers with special interest in the conflicts of the Middle East: American Jews who watch Israel closely; right-wingers looking for flashpoints in their continuing narrative of a macro-conflict between Islamic nations and the West; left-wingers who object to the state of Israel altogether; and many in between. It’s not “HEADLESS WOMAN IN TOPLESS BAR,” but it still often works well for the Post.

Daily News: Meanwhile, the News tries to flex its political muscle in a different way: To make Charlie Rangel’s challenger for a seat in the House, Adam Clayton Powell IV, return somewhere between $3,000 and $5,000 in donations to Gus Drakopoulos, a former Wall Streeter banned from securities after a finding he’d engaged in fraud, who now owns Sin City, a strip club in the Bronx. Powell talks a lot in the piece: He was happy to take money from the owner of a strip joint—”I’m not Charlie Rangel. I don’t have a million dollars in my reelection campaign,” he said—but not happy to take money from a Wall Street grifter.

Rangel challenger under fire for campaign donations
By Shane D’Aprile – 09/02/10 09:34 AM ET
New York State Assemblyman Adam Clayton Powell IV (D), who appears to have the best shot of defeating embattled Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) in a primary later this month, says he has returned campaign cash he received from an ex-felon.  
According to the New York Daily News, Powell received thousands of dollars in campaign donations from Konstantine Drakopoulos, the owner of a Bronx strip club called Sin City who pleaded guilty to insider trading eight years ago. 
Drakopoulos is now the subject of a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by dancers at the club he owns.
“I don’t want to hear any more. Jesus Christ, that’s quite a résumé,” said Powell, who is running in the Sept. 14 Democratic primary against Rangel, the veteran congressman facing a House ethics trial. “I’m going to return the money. I want no part of anybody like that.”

Every year, New York State issues a report that depicts its pension fund at the peak of health — not a penny short of what it needs to pay retirees their benefits. In some years, the report even shows a little surplus. But a Republican candidate for state comptroller with an M.B.A. from Harvard says that the pension is actually papering over a shortfall of tens of billions of dollars. [NYT]
