And how many more companies have been inflating their stock price with similar 'irregularities'? Why is no one inside these coprporations taking any responsibility? Where are the regulators? Is the entire system corrupt?
These CEOs, CFOs (Lay, Ebbers etc) need to do some time behind bars IMO. This is massive fraud perpetrated out of greed. A slap on the wrist and retirement with a couple 100 million or more is not aceptable. These greedy bastards are doing as much damage to this country as any terrorist IMO.
I always thought WorldCom was crooked, they were more interested in aquisitions and their stock price than actually providing good/new services. When they tried to take over Sprint I heard that they (WorldCom/MCI) had terrible customer service ratings in a business not known for good customer service. I was relieved that the Sprint deal was squashed as it would have had a negative impact on the local economy (and Sprint's own troubles have had a bad enough impact as it is)
