According to the affidavit, Eliot Spitzer argued that he had $400 or $500 in credit on account with the accused prostitution ring:
"At approximately 8:14 p.m. [on Feb. 12, 2008], TEMEKA RACHELLE LEWIS, a/k/a "Rachelle," the defendant, using the 6587 Number, called Mark Brener, a/k/a "Michael," the defendant, at the 0937 Number. During the call, LEWIS told BRENER that Client-9 [allegedly Spitzer had just called about an appointment for tomorrow, and that he had around $400 or $500 credit."
The only way Spitzer could have had credit would be if he had paid money previously to the ring, should the charges in the complaint and affidavit prove true in a court or through admission.
