It becomes an accounting issue when investors question the basic separation of interests between management, the board or directors and the accountants who are supposed to keep a lid on excesses. If they are screwing around with Bernie and his stock speculation habits then investors will have every reason to believe that they may be following the same funny business in other areas. It certainly has an effect how much the company can be trusted across the board (no pun intended).

"intangibles on their books, about $41 billion at 9/30"

Zacks shows the amount at 9/30 to be $50.820 billion of
intangibles out of a total shareholder's equity of
$57.907 billion, for a TANGIBLE shareholder's equity of
$7.087 billion.

Namaste!
