Storyline

Trivia
Michael Bloomberg: The mayor of New York City is holding press conferences near the beginning and end of the episode.

Goofs
The real Daniel Tenofski (Tenofsky) says he did a stint as a CPA. Apparently the screenwriters think that a CPA is the same as a bookkeeper. The character got his accounting education from a correspondence school. In order to become a CPA, he would have needed either 128 credit hours or the current 150 credit hours from an ACCREDITED college or university, not a "Sally-Struthers-endorsed-matchbook-cover" correspondence school. He would have had to take a 2 1/2 day test. He would have had to take an open-book ethics exam. He would have had to have 1.5 years junior accounting experience (excused, if degree from MAJOR institution) plus 1.5 years senior accounting experience...even longer if not earned in working for a practicing CPA. After passing the (medical) boards and the bar exam, a CPA is the toughest professional credit to earn.

Quotes
Jack McCoy: Tenofskie loved what he did. He loved the D.A.'s office, loved trial work. He even loved the appeals bureau.
Serena Southerlyn: The only thing that could have stopped him from going after your clients was the fear of losing all of that.
Jack McCoy: Back in 1978, you were a night student at Brooklyn Law, but you took one day class. Corporations, with Professor Hoffman.
William Wachtler: I barely remember it.
Serena Southerlyn: You had a classmate, the real Daniel Tenofsky; the one who dropped out.
Jack McCoy: You sat across the aisle from him for six months. So when Libretti and Biscotti and you had your first sit-down with our Dan Tenofskie, whose real name was Jacob Dieter, you knew he was a fake.
William Wachtler: You'll never prove that.
Jack McCoy: Your clients did not bribe Tenofskie. They blackmailed him, with your help. They threatened to expose him, threatened to take away his identity, take away the life he'd built for himself.
William Wachtler: You want me testify against these guys?
Jack McCoy: Libretti, Biscotti, and Tortomassi.
William Wachtler: I'll need to go into witness protection.
Jack McCoy: You'll testify and go to jail. And if I'm in a good mood, I'll consider arranging segregation from the general population.
