As long as I've been following business news, it seems that sex is always only a whisper away from any press release ... sexual harassment, sexual dalliances between colleagues, famously, when an Infoseek EVP tried to have sex with an FBI agent who said she was 13. Sex is never so sexy as when it touches money.

So when Time Warner CFO Wayne Pace was accused of having been the "sugar daddy" (oh how we love that phrase) of high-priced hooker and accused prostitution ringleader, Andrea Schwartz, let's be honest, we licked our lips.

Pace, naturally, denies it through his attorney. And if it's true, it would be racy indeed: the position of CFO is generally seen as a boring, straight-laced, buttoned-up job. One that requires the utmost ethics and should never smack of partisanship. It's only when we think about who else Schwartz may have entertained that we start imagining the possibilities for compromise. It's a mind-blowing list of potential Law & Order plots.

Either way, we hope we read all about it in People.
