Half of SCO's Accountants Quit

Posted by Zonk on from the rats-know-when-to-leave-a-ship dept.

Groklaw Reader writes "Apparently, SCO's lawyers were working overtime last Sunday, because they wrote a quick plea to the bankruptcy court for permission to hire accounting temps. Why? Approximately half of SCO's finance department has resigned or been fired. Two who resigned had over ten years of experience each. One can only assume that they know what's about to happen to SCO."

    Good reply, really on point. I have no love for SCO, but in truth, the character of a man is best revealed in his behavior after victory. I expect this to be a very illuminating story on the moral fiber of many of you.

    Good idea. Raise the stakes in order to save some cash. That's a strategy that will work every time...right up until it doesn't. It doesn't matter how tough you are. There's always somebody somewhere who's tougher and more desperate than you are.
    Sure -- but the higher that bar gets raised, the fewer of those somebodies are left.

    I'm living in Texas at the moment, and I'm quite glad that a significant number of my fellow homeowners are well-armed (and that local laws -- and juries -- are generally conducive to defensive use of deadly force). Making home invasion a risky business means that fewer are willing to try it, and those that do are more likely to meet an unfortunate end before they get around to my place. (I recall the police commenting on a 19-year-old who was caught robbing homes as to how lucky he was to still be alive).

    So -- I may hand over my wallet (or I may not -- not specifying until it happens), but the more people there are who raise the stakes in self defense, the safer all of us are. It's thus a reasonable assertion that such an action is, in fact, the socially responsible thing to do.
