WorldCom Fraud Doubles

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the jail-jail-jail-jail-jail-jail-jail dept.

Silvaran writes "No, this isn't a repeat story. WorldCom claims another $3.3 billion accounting error. That's about $7 billion, for those that are counting. Wish I had that kind of cash to miscalculate on my income tax forms." There's also a NYT story. I love how the news outlets are saying, "error", "irregularity", "problem", as if this was all some sort of tragic accident, instead of laying out the obvious truth, "criminal fraud committed with full knowledge it was a crime".

    Bin Laden shouldn't have bothered launching a terrorist attack against the US, it was already rotting away itself this badly with the corrupt CEOs - who managed to get two of their kind into the White House, IMNSHO. And now war-taunts against Hussein. Sure Hussein isn't loved by a lot of people, but if Bush attacks, there'd be more people out there showing their hatred of "US meddling".

    War on Terror? The terrorist have won. We now live in terror - everyday. Someone forgets a briefcase in an airport, watch as the airport gets evacuated and shut down for 6 hours. And no vendetta by Bush is going to end that terror.

    Offtopic, it sure as hell is..

    Anyone who dresses as a hollow corporate clone is a SLAVE. People should begin emancipating themselves from the corporate mindset.

    No, it's more like Michael Jackson calling Chris Rock 'black'.

    That would be perfectly fair since Chris Rock is a lot blacker than Michael Jackson. Or was that your point?
