Weiner ultimately paid a private investigations firm, T&M Protection services, $43,100 from his campaign fund knowing nobody hacked anything and that hed sent the image himself.
T&M officials declined to answer questions about what work they did and what they discovered.
It is possible that even more money was spent on the fools errand.
At the time, Weiner said he had asked a law firm, BakerHostetler, to look into the matter. Records show his campaign paid BakerHostetler $93,350 for legal services between January 2010 and December 2012.
