Aurther Anderson Associates has a long trail of sleaze.

==========================================================
As the Enron row rumbles on, opposition parties are putting under the spotlight those links with Andersen, the renamed accountancy arm of the former Arthur Andersen group. (The consultancy arm is now a separate company called Accenture).

That stems from the 1981 De Lorean affair when the car company, which made the wing-doored cars featured in the Back to the Future films, collapsed.

With the company went the millions of pounds of taxpayers' money the government was using to support De Lorean.

Settlement claims

The then Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, was furious with Arthur Andersen, accountants to De Lorean, for failing to prevent the fiasco.

Not only did she effectively bar them from working for the government but she also started trying to sue Andersen for about £200m.

Downing Street says it settled that case for £21m when Labour came to power in 1997 in a process already begun under previous ministers.

end of snippet.

Auther Anderson Associates are scum bags and need to be stopped. If Tony Blair is in with them, he needs stopping too.

This is frigging unbelievable!
