AMZN is 'creative', not 'illegal', and really nothing was hidden. The specific complaint about a lot of these companies is the use of 'one time' write offs for services that last years. The comment on CNBC was that AMZN was writing off advertising as a 'one time' expense. It's sort of like an airline writing off two years of jet fuel as a one time deal then claiming the savings in the future as profit. The internut stocks do this to play 'beat the earnings estimate' game.
