The infamous former IMF

leader, Dominique Strauss-Kahn

(aka DSK), is on a road of ups and mostly downs. Already he had been caught cheating on his lovely wife with a subordinate at the IMF, and then he gets accused of raping a chambermaid in an upscale New York hotel.

Eventually, the charges got dropped since the only witness was not credible, but in the mean time, other women have appeared out of the wood work, accusing him of sexual misconduct.

After many months in "prison" in New York (in a US$50,000/month town house), he finally returned home to France. At his arrival he was met by probably the largest gang of motorcycle riding journalists you've ever seen, probably even more then when France won the world soccer championship many eons ago.

Now, the horde of motorcycle-journalists are camped outside his house in Paris, waiting for the moment they can give chase to try to get the one photo that will make the photographer famous & rich. Like that is going to happen.

Strauss-Kahn returned to Paris Sunday for the first time since a New York hotel cleaner accused him of attempted rape in a torrid sex scandal that scuppered his hopes for the French presidency
