Eric, I really don't see what is wrong with being crooked in business as long as you have rich and powerful friends, you get away with it, give a tax deductible inconsequential amounts to charity, and display an arrogant unrepentant contempt for the public, and any sort of reckoning of your actions. I am starting to wonder if Dick Cheney signed off on "aggressive" accounting while in charge at Haliburton? Their auditor was the infamous Arthur Anderson who also audited for Enron and WCOM. Cheney dumped his stock near $50/share and went on to become vice-president of the U.S.A. It appears the only penalty in the U.S.A. for fraud is shame and a loss of reputation for not stealing more than the next guy.
