Any reason is as good as any other, when the documents say "the money is gone, we don't know where". To be calm about it we'd have to believe there were those operating without oversite for these trillions, who knew they wouldn't be caught but were honest anyway. Or that they all knew they would be caught, and were honest. The term "improperly documented" is a bureaucratic one, designed to say the same thing less damningly as "it's gone,and we can't find it". It is the same thing, except it implies it's there somewhere, and was honestly misplaced. Unless documents are destroyed, those records can be reassembled eventually, department by department, vendor by vendor, and even a tiny start in that direction would flush out whistleblowers and the guilty looking for amnesty. That's the start that should be announced. Rather than the calm trillion-dollar "oops" we're getting shoved down our throats now.
