This lead reads like parody:

Federal investigators have developed information that the prostitute whom Eliot Spitzer is said to have met in Washington last month has some relationship witha man who the authorities contend is an associate of organized crime, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

In other words, people who they won't identify even by category say that other people say that Spitzer spent time with someone who knows someone who knows people with criminal ties. Furthermore, Bloomberg once rode a subway with someone who knows someone who may have been arrested. [Consider the number of people in the average rush-hour subway car, if you doubt that statement.]

Spitzer has already resigned from his elected office, and may well be indicted soon. What on Earth are they trying to accomplish, other than demonstrate that it's difficult to write clear sentences when the content is so muddy?
