That may be their intent, but I doubt they can pull off. All they can do is to postpone the day of reckoning a little longer IMHO. This applies in triplicate if the buck does not have a decent bounce very soon.

I agree, except for the scale of it!

is no difference between what they are doing and what the WCOM CFO did.

their actions may have been similar, but there is a big difference. The WCOM CFO was employed by the shareholders, and the shareholders made a conscious decision to buy WCOM stock. They did not knowingly buy a fraudulent company, but they did buy the stock. The PPT on the other hand is employed by the taxpayers. The taxpayers are being screwed without ever having made a comparable decision.
