WorldCom CFO Accused of $3.6 Billion Fraud
winter was among the first to point out that allegations of fraud have led to a massive stock drop at WorldCom. A flurry of stories have popped up on Yahoo!, none of them good news for WorldCom. CFO Scott Sullivan is accused of misstating the company's revenues, specifically its earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortization (aka EBITDA), and the stock has slid more than 50% (as of this writing) in after-hours trading.
uNF unF uNF!!
NO! I AM NOT A TROLL!
No, seriously now. Yeah right, as if such a thing as seriously exists, eh? I've written some really awesome comments for Slashdot today. Just take a look at my comment history page or whatever. You'll see. There's good stuff, but now I'm so bored with this crap that I'm posting junk. But that's ok. It's only karma, foo.
The sun rose in the east today.

Love is the Law, love under Will.
so I stopped reading the business section of the paper.
This time the threat is real. Save us from the godless capitalists!
Almost never really funny.
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the center cannot hold'
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man'
A gaze bland and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches toward Bethlehem to be born?
William Butler Yeats
If they're going to kill themselves anyways why not take those responsible with them?
Suicide is such a waste when you don't take your enemies with you.
Maybe we should murder you for such a Slashdot-Retarded(TM) comment.
Flamebait.
Good sleuthing, Sherlock.
Actually, the layoffs have been planned and known about for a couple of weeks now. Rumor was they were scheduled for sometime this week anyway.
Sorry about being an AC, but I actually work for WorldCom. Tomorrow will be interesting.
On a totally and completely different topic: I've noticed that Americans, for the most part, seem to equate prison with rape. Certainly forcibile sodomy has been going on since time immmorial in jails, but it's been openly acknowledged as a problem for the last few centuries and steps have been taken to minimize it. But back to my original point, Americans take for granted that prisoners in jail are raped by bigger, meaner criminals, and yet they don't really care.... it's more of an inevitability than a problem to them. Do they condone rape as just punishment for breaking the law?
Interpreting the Commerce Clause, which I am well aware of, in such a manner is a gross exaggeration of what was intended.
Like the way Republicans fail to understand " A well-regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
