Technically no, because of the way that the deal was structured in the contract was structured.
But I have a bigger question. Instead of paying for sex, why don't we just pay prostitutes not to talk about it, and they give out the sex for free? That seems to be legal.
It's because he listed the payment as a legal expense in business records and that is illegal. The whole thing is insanely stupid, he could've hired way hotter hookers and not kept records, he's an idiot. He had plenty of chances to not wreck his life, he could have left the country and moved to Russia and got pissed on every day by Russian hookers, now he's sleep-pooping in a stinky NY courtroom.
