"Mr. Strauss-Kahn, 62, was apprehended by police in the first-class section of an Air France plane minutes before it was to leave New York for Paris on Saturday night, according to law-enforcement officials in New York. Earlier in the day, Mr. Strauss-Kahn had allegedly sexually assaulted a maid who had come to clean his room at a hotel in Times Square, a New York police official said."
Thoughts on how this will play out in the markets?
He is innocent judging by the lack of evidence.
A set up
+1
from the same article "Mr. Strauss-Kahn had been widely expected to leave the IMF soon to enter the race as the leading Socialist Party candidate, and was running ahead of President Nicolas Sarkozy in recent polls. "
They say the maid looked exactly like Carla Bruni.
This WOULD be a good set up, but he looks like a sleazeball. Plus:

Setup or not, DSK does have a history of engaging in this kind of action. He doesn't look that innocent, and as head of the IMF, he hasn't done a bang up job at running that either.
Set up
Why would he try to bang a hotel maid of 32 yrs old?
this does not add up. there are literally thousands of hookers in ny. SK is wealthy. all he had to do was call an escort sevice. his history provides the perfect reasons for a setup. he must have done something to piss off the fed or some other high power.
He was the fav to become French President no?
Yah seems totally like a setup.
yea, it seems like someone wants to keep sarkozy in power
Didnt he leave his hotel room in a real rush without his phone and other belongings? Being a flight risk generally shows a guilty conscience.
He has a long history of womanizing + assault. The US selectively enforces rape rules with high level international figures [our gov't doesn't actually care much about the issue]. The bottom line is that he's pushing for increased bailouts and we're making it hard for him to continue to support this cause.
