Update: DSK Now In Police Custody; IMF Head Dragged Off A Plane, Arrested Following Hotel Maid Allegations Of Forced Head
Update 2: DSK is now in police custody:
IMF Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn was taken into custody on Saturday at JFK airport in New York and was being questioned in regard to a sexual assault, a New York police spokesman told Reuters.
Spokesman Paul Browne said the woman who filed the complaint against Strauss-Kahn, 62, was a 32-year-old chambermaid who fled the room after the incident.
Strauss-Kahn, a possible Socialist candidate in the French presidential election next April, left the hotel after the incident and boarded an Air France aircraft scheduled to depart for Paris, the police spokesman said.
"The NYPD realized he had fled, he had left his cell phone behind," Browne said. "We learned he was on an Air France plane. They held the plane and he was taken off and is now being held in police custody for questioning."
Browne said Strauss-Kahn had not been charged.
Police said the alleged incident took place at the upscale Sofitel hotel on West 44th Street near Times Square.
The chambermaid "was brought by EMS (emergency medical services) to the Roosevelt Hotel, where she was treated for minor injuries," Brown said.
Strauss-Kahn took over the International Monetary Fund in November 2007. Before that, he was a member of the French National Assembly and a professor of economics at the Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Paris.
The IMF declined to comment and board officials said they had not been informed officially of the incident.
In October 2008, Strauss-Kahn apologized for "an error of judgment" in an affair with a subordinate, but denied he had abused his position.
Strauss-Kahn apologized to employees, the woman he had the affair with, Piroska Nagy, and his wife, French television personality Anne Sinclair, for the trouble it had caused.
Update 1: Strauss Khan to be taken to Police Service Area 5 at 221 East 123rd Street
If there was any threat that the IMF would launch an SDR alternative to the USD, it is all over now. According to the NYPost, IMF head Dominique Strauss-Khan (no Bob Pisani, it is not a she) was just arrested on board the first class cabin (thank you taxpayers) of a New York-Paris flight as it was about to take off. And here is where the story gets surreal: "Around noon today, a maid at the hotel [the Sofitel by Times Square] knocked on the door of Strauss-Khan’s room. After letting the maid in, Strauss-Khan allegedly threw the maid on the room’s bed and forced her to perform oral sex on him, said police sources. Strauss-Khan let the maid leave — and soon afterward, headed off to Kennedy Airport for his flight to Paris." Of course this will not be the first sexual misconduct for the head of the world's global pseudo bail out organization: as a reminder back in 2008 the IMF hired a law firm to investigate whether its chief had an improper relationship with a female employee, Piroska Nagy. Back then he got off. This time he won't (even though he did... in a way), and it appears that the IMF is about to lose its head, meaning the fate of literally unlimited bailout funding is now up in the air. Also, it appears that being head of major bureaucracy does not automatically mean getting head on an ad hoc, and involuntary basis. Lastly, we are stunned it was not Herman Von Rompuy or G-Pap on the receiving end.
More from the Post:
His arrest tonight could force him to postpone a planned meeting in Berlin on Sunday with German chancellor Angela Merkel.
Strauss-Khan, a leader of France’s Socialist Party, is the leading rival to President Nicholas Sarkozy in the 2012 election.
Sarkozy was said in a news report yesterday to have begun a smear campaign against his rival that focused on his lavish lifestyle — including Strauss-Khan’s purchase of suits from the same tailor who clothes President Obama.
But Strauss-Khan seems able to find trouble on his own. In 2008, he publicly admitted to "an error of judgment" for having an affair with an IMF subordinate.
In France’s 2007 vote, Strauss-Khan lost the Socialist Party nomination to Segolene Royal, who in turn fell to defeat against Sarkozy, leader of the right-wing Union for a Popular Movement.
But Sarkozy, who still sees Strauss-Khan as his likeliest electoral rival, is believed in France to have maneuvered him out of France by backing him to head the Washington-based International Monetary Fund.
Strauss-Khan is married to New York-born Anne Sinclair, a leading French TV journalist.
Naturally, being in charge of the IMF requires one to be not only a sexual deviant, but a thief:
[Strauss-Khan] was Minister of Economy and Finance from 1997 to 1999, when he resigned to battle charges he was paid for consulting work he never did. But judges decided he really did the work, and prosecutors were forced to admit they had no evidence of fraudulent motive.
Next up: we expect a letter from the IMF disclosing how the world will end if charges are pursued and if, heaven forbid, the IMF head is thrown in jail.
In the meantime, the website of the Smoking Gun must be on fire with one million bored Burssels bureaucrats awaiting the release of the IMF head's mugshot.
Lastly, here is an advance preview of the statement to be released by the IMF head (no pun intended): "If questioned about this matter in the future, I will simply refer the questioner back to this release."

SK is just being a true socialist; Spreading the wealth, spreading the love.
Now if Bernanke could be so stupid... because I know he does stuff like that too, it's just that his victims never see the light of day after the fact... if you know what I mean.
A socialist in charge of the IMF... well that makes sense!
I don't know if this is sarcasm but it indeed does make perfect sense. Only a socialist could be arrogant enough to accept a position that influences monetary policy so much because he no doubt believes he can calculate better than billions of individuals in the market place
Everybody remembers their first blowjob...
Hey Bernanke, you remember your first blowjob?? How long it take for the guy to cum?
Thanks for the chuckle, well really, a belly laugh.
Ben lived in Winthrop House while at Harvard, that should tell you all you need to know about his sexuality.
Do you know what the difference is between a straight Harvard man and a gay Harvard man??
About a six pack of beer.
:-)
I think you mean winecoolers.
You really think he'd mess up his beard like that? HAHAHAHAH
His beard?
I'm sure Bernank always makes sure to slurp down every drop of gooey goodness.
men are men, turd†
chambermaids, what a lovey thought :->
I have it on good authority that SK's recent adventure was in fact a setup. As you all have long suspected, the planetary financial system is ruled by the Cabal. Although the sheeple will never learn this, not all people are sheep (or Cabalists). There is a growing underground that is fighting back. The members of Counterforce have today made a bold strike at the Cabal by neutralizing SK. SK was a target of opportunity. Two fortuitous factors appeared simultaneously that made this strike possible. The first success factor was the successful penetration by CyberTeam of the Cabal's mind-control emitter network. Although said penetration actually happened years ago, Counterforce's targeting prowess with it has grown to the point where the Cabal is frightened. Just as tin-foil is known to interfere with the signal, so do the foil strips in modern currency. Why do you think those strips are there? Counterfeit protection? Ha ha. What's a few extra $100 bills to the Cabal? However, the foil strips merely interfere with the mind-control signal. By using advanced hyperbalistical techniques, Counterforce has gotten steadily better able to focus the mind-control signal onto the agents of Cabal, despite their countermeasures. Only by surrounding themselves with ever larger quantities of money, are they able to stave off their day of reckoning. The second success factor is SK's demonstrated deviant nature. We have long conjectured that if we could maneuver our agent into his physical space he would snap. However, the prospect of merely dangling TastyTreats in front of him did not offer sufficient assurance that he would take the bait. As many of you have already noted, why would SK loose control when he can just buy an army of hookers instead? Now you know. The takedown of SK is the first public appearance of Counterforce. As the dominoes start to fall, rest assured that it is Countforce knocking them over.
Uniman - fantastic news Counterforce are hard at work bringing down the banking cartels/cabal ...so let me get this right, the strategic 'Plan' is to give everyone in the cabal a blowjob?
pictures! i demand pictures! at the very least, those bear vids!
Sorry, I don't want to see his jeethner.
Little Timmy Geethner... So thats why he looks so familiar. Same old dick.
He should have kept his jeethner in his pants.
I say this every time I hear about a high school teacher having sex with a male student. You know because i want to make sure to "avoid" the deviant criminal...
Pictures my ass.
I want a birth certificate.
well if they found porn videos on OBL I'm sure they'll find photos on DSK in the nude looking like a hard on dude! That's instant 'journalism' at its naked best!
4 reals?
I guess she didn't accept EUR as a tip.

close -
it was gold she asked for. He didn't have any
you suck.
Leadership at its best. Times must be tough when you can no longer afford blow and hookers in New York.
This guy is so busy with bailouts that now he's even whipping his penis out...
Hate to crack a joke about the victim, but can't resist. Was she a black swan or just an ugly duckling?
"This guy is so busy with bailouts that now he's even whipping his penis out..."
Come on baby, release my inner chakra...LOL.
What is it with these people.
The whole chakra thing with gore sort of tipped the story against gore to believable.
This story about a fat old guy ambushing a 32 year old lady, subduing her, and sticking his penis into her mouth without getting his dick bit off is a little far fetched.
I think this DSK fool is another bankster and deserves what he gets--but the story does not work out at it's face value. I call BS. It will be interesting to see what happens when either DSK starts singing like a canary, walks out charges dismissed, or ends up dead.
I say she winds up with her own house on a sandy beach and the case sealed for 20yrs.
Closer to reality, unfortunately not so much for justice.
Snort hack choke ROFLMAO!
For some things are more important than a bailout,like a total bailing and then a quick bail out to the airport to sort out some more bailouts.What kind of gimps do we have running the financial system.Just goes to show if you want to get ahead in life just call the IMF round.
Who's gonna bail him out? More importantly: who's gonna bail the world now? /sarc
Shakespeare's character : Why do the slings and arrows of misfortune thus fall on the best of us when they incarnate in verisimilitudinous virtue, this philosopher's stone we call general good?
Lenin : Because the dividing line between vice and virtue is paper thin. The road to Hell paved with good intentions, expressed as generalized good ...but by such bad execution in its very name.
I bring to man that very formula of good execution; a deterministic thread that none can tear asunder as it is imbedded in dictatorship of proletariat.... Except a mad dictator himself. Yonder Stalin has a lean and hungry look...Does he think he be king of IMF world?
I looked up the term "maid" in a financial dictionary, it said please see US taxpayer. Now the question is whether or not Merkel will go for it, too.
Look, this ZH title fits too:
"Slow Relief at the Pump As Gasoline Decouples From Crude Oil"
+ $4.19 at the pump!
Another reason we must raise the debt ceiling. Or whatever.
So there we were, the bankrupt bailing out the insolvent and all... and then it got weird...
I admire your dryness ;-)
So does this mean the Euro is going down?
Sodomy and oral sex are not the same thing. This must have been written fairly quickly
Your cousin and your sister are not the same thing, either...unless you live in Arkansas.
Sodomy is oral or anal intercourse. Look it up.
I can't believe I had occasion to write that sentence.
lol I'm choking on a pretzel.. yo TD truely it dosn't get any better then this!! lmao!!
George, is that you?
His noggin just smacked the coffee table on way to the floor...and out cold.
His noggin just smacked the coffee table on the way to the floor...and out cold.
I'm glad you got that in there ;-)
AAAAAAAAAH, LMAO!
This is why I love ZH. One can learn so much from people who are knowledgeable in such varied fields.
Maids are known for doing both, oral after anal, of course, in keeping with their profession...
SHe doesn't do windows, I'll bet.
Bowers v Hartwick for the Supreme Court's definition of sodomy
Bowers v Hartwick for the Supreme Court's definition of sodomy
I did not have sexual relations with that woman...
... never touched her vagina.
Well, it depends what the definition of "is" is.
Now.. That is bullish!
Buy the fucking drip.
Winner...I give.
Now that is fucking funny.
Bury That Fucking Deviant.
They IMF have perfected getting away with raping nations/peoples financially... but they still need practice when it comes to getting away with physical rape.
Maybe his true intentions were not reveled...
"being in charge of the IMF requires one to be not only a sexual deviant, but a thief:"
Did the maid check her wallet/purse?
His defense: "I thought it was the International Monetary Fun."
Normally the IMF outsources physical rape responsibilities to various police and paramilitaries in the State receiving the bailout funds. Perhaps the Greeks wouldn't play along and the IMF is getting frustrated.
"Let them eat dick"
pretty much... probably wondering what the fuss is all about, after all, that is what goy women are for.
Come on, everyone knows the best hosensnarflers are the J.A.P.s at B.U.
Classic!!!
Best comment ever!
It's hard to choose which to believe, an Assange style set-up or another example of "I'm king of the world and can get away with anything" type thinking. I'm guessing the first, otherwise it would have been swept under the carpet.
consider the difference in power between the head of the IMF and assange.
If it was an Assange thingy, then, what's good for the goose......
bet he had the bernank put on that maid outfit!
This seems to be a black swan meeting a white stain.
A black stain event perhaps?
Who's the G-Pap?
Also I didn't get the Bob Pisani reference, did he refer to Strauss-Kahn as Mrs. Strauss-Kahn or what?
Georgios Papandreou
Prime Minister of Greece.
Hehe, thanks!
Still wondering about what was said by Bob Pisani...
And there's the difference.
DSK is French, hence the BJ.
If he was G-Pap, it'd a been a butt boning.
Cultural awareness.
Pisani screams & giggles like a school girl at every market top.
Very reliable...your welcome ;-)
nmewm - LoL - great characterization - Pisani has never held an original thought in his entire career at CNBC - that is why the NYSE LOVES him - they post to the teleprompter & Pisani REPEATS the drivel without conscience - the only thing worse than listening to him is the FACT that CNBC actually publishes his blog - pathetic
captain kirk should never have left khan on that desert planet!
It has to be said: "KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHN!"
There is no such thing as a financial crime for the bankstas, can they get away with rape too?
BuzzSaw checking Dodd-Frank now - I am certain there must be a provision for this -
i guess ben should stop bragging about raping americans on a daily basis. apparently, some take him seriously and do it themselves.
Yes, according to Denniger IMF has immunity.
He won't get anything (except dismissed) and the US gets a glimpse of the real nature of elitist privilege on its own soil.
If for some snow in hell chance this makes it to a courtroom I can see the argument now, "my client raped that woman fair and square. When she walked into the room, she assumed all the risks of doing so."
I'm waiting for Hank Paulson's 2-page report, and Wolfowitz' application for hire at the IMF.
This show you just what kind of putrid pus ridden filth are "leaders" in the world.
Jesus! These fucking people are absolutely insane and criminaly so.
Gonna take a guess... He's Jewish?
Who cares. Has less than ZERO relevance to this issue.
Sure it does. The unique misspelled, mistaken gender name. Bob got it wrong....
Or are you referring the to rape charge?
It's spelled Kahn not khan.
It has relevance to me.
Ever seen Jud Suss? It's a great movie.

Go back to feeling sorry for your masters so they can beat you, yet again.
Ricardo Montalban is Jewish?
LMFAO - There goes another laptop - Keyboard doused in Coke Zero! Now I don't care who you are - That is funny! Classic!
KHAN!!!!!!
Of course he was jewish. Didn't you read Cornithian Leathers 13:14.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It fucks you in the face against your will.
Hahahah, watch the "Tribe" do damage control on this one. He'll be off in no time, that kike bastard. He has been oppressing people for years now, and now because he rapes a maid he's being held accountable? This just goes to show you how fucked the system is. It's only when you play "outside" the rules that you're brought to trial. As long as you fuck people over via the financial system, a system Jews control, you're A-Ok. We need to usurp this system and make sure that "rape" is held accountable on all levels, not just the physical/sexual level (which of course is heinously disgusting as well).
Congratulations. The more you type stuff like this on Zero Hedge the more it will help the Google analytics correctly determine that this site is a cesspool of bigotry. Again, proving my point. There - now you don't need my analysis on what ZH is for. Google will do it for you.
Both of Dominique Strauss-Kahn's parents were of the Jewish faith. Born into a family of mixed Askhenazi and Sephardic origins, Strauss-Kahn has always been in support of his religion and heritage. After the 1981 election, which was won by François Mitterrand, Strauss-Kahn decided to stay out of formal politics, switching his focus to the Socialist Party where he founded Socialisme et Judaisme, or Socialism and Judaism. During his bid for the presidency of France, the biggest question about him was, "Is France ready for a Jewish president?" Flouting this, he lost by a narrow margin.
so, how many data points do we need to call something a trend?
So, you say he's a socialist...well there ya go...spreadin it around a little.
definately not circumcised....poor maid is going to need lots of Listerine and some shots
LOL...Custard's Last Stand?
LOL!
The French like their cheese, even if it's Fumunda...
He is indeed Jewish. Don't worry, he'll be replaced with another Jew lickety-split.
No, thats exactly the worry.
Listen, the Jews have enough problems. Sure, Ben Shalom Bernanke controls the U.S. Fed and Greenspan controlled it before him, sure Blankfein controls Goldman Sachs, sure Bloomberg is mayor of NYC and Rahm Emmanuel, a volunteer for the IDF is mayor of Chicago. Sure Larry Summers and Robert Rubin were Jews who made a killing off of financial deregulation. Sure, our politicians are elected purely based on Jewish donor money.
But come on, Jews are a victimized minority!
+1

(And screw philosemites...)
Oh look, the poor Jew drunk on power has now been charged. Much the same way the Jews treat the world, Strauss-Kahn ran down a hallway and raped a maid.
Reuters reports:
Browne (spokesperson for the NYPD) gave reporters an account of events which led to the state charges against Strauss-Kahn. "She told detectives he came out of the bathroom naked, ran down a hallway to the foyer where she was, pulled her into a bedroom and began to sexually assault her, according to her account.
"She pulled away from him and he dragged her down a hallway into the bathroom where he engaged in a criminal sexual act, according to her account to detectives. He tried to lock her into the hotel room," Browne added.
This kike bastard will rot in prison is my only hope.
More like phallus-Semites in this case.
Seriously, why would a non Jew ever care to defend or embrace their culture?
Stockholm Syndrome, or advanced stupidity.
But most goys today defend Jews like they would defend christian martyrs, probably because of the Holocaust pictures that got inserted in their heads as early as grade school. They feel they make some sort of good action against those evil Jew haters, who are of course all skinheads living in trailer parks, or Lucifers reincarnated.

Oh I "forgot" thousands. Honestly, I don't have all the time to list them all. For the time being I'll list one very important to ZeroHedge readers:
Gary Gensler (a Jew), head of the Commodity Futures Trading Association. Just remember, when you try to invest in real money (silver and gold) Gensler will be there to hike margins on your gentiles and make sure the crony-capitalism so dear to his Jewish ilk perpetuates itself.
Pesa though true, you can't say these things. Why? Just because. My TV told me so.

Would you mind explaining why you believe that?
I ask because I'm short eur/usd and imo-the "percived" success of the IMF would-with all its recent involvement in the euro zone bailout packages and the "percieved" cure for all the terminal PIIIGS and now-the possibility of a stymied IMF--i would suspect it could be EUR negative-
TIA
Well for serious, youre in the right position.
Just past few months (until EURUSD 1.49x) there was the whole theme of any news event over the weekend, good OR bad for the EU, would send the EUR flying. Hence the sarcasm.
Absolutely hilarious....
I said numerous times, that the G-7 confabs and other assorted meetings by various Plutocrats were nothing but boondoggles to drink, play cards, get massages, and get sex from high end escorts.
These guys are the most corrupt. With huge, outsized egos.
But can you blame them?
Look at how all of them have now proven that they have amassed so much power, that they can now move currency, metals, energy, fixed income, and stock markets around at will.
Just by jawboning, manipulating margins, and getting the herds of wildebeest hedge funds moving in the proper direction.
How else can a stock like Ross Dress for Less move from $20 to $80 and a stock like Newmont Mining goes nowhere when the money supply has been jacked to the highest levels ever known to mankind? And 10-year yields are still at 3.2%?
These guys have pulled off financial miracles.
No wonder they feel like they deserve blow jobs from whomever they wish.
Robo, pure poetry.
Confess, your an artist at heart.
Yes. Vogon poetry.

Well said robo.....
Robo, your writing style reminds me of a poster that I followed several years ago, who invented and/or popularized terms such as
"the 700 story derrivate tower of JPM,
"the Fed's atomic particle accelerator,"
"stick-saved"
" pig men"
"Fed's bull-horn"
"Steve McQueen U-turn"
"stick-armed super models"

Kudos Robo - Game, Set, Match
ha ha, he said jawboning
so true until suddenly they revert to giving the blow jobs........not to mention the up and coming public ass kissing campaign already in the works.
DSK just launched the latest version of Under The Looking Glass and has put the financial plutocracy/political class squarely in the same league as the Catholic Church child sex abuse scandals against innocents, only this time on a much bigger scale.
nothing like creating and instilling more doubt in peoples' minds about the integrity of so-called authority.
timely.
any litigation stocks worth getting long? bet the Vatican is loving it.
Very perceptive comment. Yes, timely indeed.
Isn't somebody's 2012 campaign going to be based on the 'hate the rich' mob mentality?
And Sarkosy too?
I sense that Robo has found a new relationship mentor.
Dicklomatic impunity.
Obviously the maid wanted Gold or Silver,none of that freshly printed QE crap he had in his case,so it was straight off to the old bill.
This is rich. The mindset of this person carries inherent risk of failure by unexpected events I suppose. Most people who fear the law gamble with it wisely. They try to be efficient with their risks and only steal what is worth the consequences. This sort of downfall is an exposition of the failure of our society to discourage this sort of sociopath. At the very minimum the Banksters should understand the risk of instintaneous failure inherent to those who no longer can perceive the risk of what they do in sane terms.
May you burn in hell Mr. Strauss-Khan, and your institution with it!
um dollar bounce? so confusing.
IMF, are these the people who would be in charge of a world wide currency standard?
Taking something for nothing by force, how novel.
