Versailles part deux...

OK so just a quickie as I take in Today on R4...\n\nI haven't read \"the story on the NYT site\":http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/01/nyregion/strauss-kahn-case-seen-as-in-jeopardy.html yet but by the sound of it, the maid who accused DSK of rape collected a bunch of cash payments from some hoods doing time in a New York jail.\n\nSo I get it that a hotel maid on minimum wage benefits from some extra cash. But...\n\n* What benefit did the small-time crims get from the sting operation?\n* How did a bunch of dealers know to pick DSK or indeed what hotel he'd be staying at?\n* If the crims had no motive for the sting, who did?\n\nIf was Agatha Christie I'd have to say Christine Lagarde looked like a good candidate:-)\n\nTalk about intrigue...
