Carl Andrew "Andy" Capasso was a sewer contractor, who was convicted of tax fraud. He was later accused of bribing judge Hortense Gabel by arranging a job for the judge's daughter, Sukhreet Gabel, with Bess Myerson. Myerson was indicted and resigned her positions with the City of New York, but was ultimately acquitted. The scandal was the subject of When She Was Bad, a book by Shana Alexander published in 1991.
