Whats Next For Spitzer?

I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop in the bid-rigging probe of top brokers and insurers by New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer.

I know Mr. Spitzer cashed in big time by convincing Marsh to create an $850 million policyholder restitution fund and substantially change the way the firm does business (although he failed to secure any admission of wrongdoing). I also hear that he and at least two other state attorney general offices are in settlement discussions with the next-biggest broker, Aonwhich, despite not being named in any of Mr. Spitzers public actions, set up a modest $50 million settlement fund.
