Bernard Ebbers and the rest of those guys should be publicly tortured and executed by being forced to watch endless reruns of the Roseanne TV show.

WorldCom Fraud Restated


And justice for all.

not to worry. MCI formerly Worldcom will have the BEST balance sheet (of any telecom) and little debt once the gov't allows it to emerges from bankruptcy. Gotta love it when huge corporations can stick it to their creditors, customers and investors while Congress wants to crack down on personal but not corporate bankruptcies.

Did the Democrats or Clinton? Or any politician? What about Globabl Crossing, Xerox, or the other ~17 companies?

Remember they started cooking the books well before Bush took office, they only got caught under Bush. Im not saying it was because of Bush, because it wasn't. They got caught because they got to greedy and went well beyond what could be covered up.

Bush and Cheney WERE one of those allegedly guys cooking their books, and they were best buddies with Kenneth Lay. These people probably have done alot worse things than Martha Stewart, only they have big time political and financial connections. It pays to be rich, white and being part of the Good ole` boys network.

Wow, an 18 month old article that has absolutely nothing to do with MCI/Worldcom. Congratulations for staying on topic genius!

It's better than forcing a company with valuable assets from being forced to go out of business, thereby putting tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of people out of work.
