"Duke: The accountants are by and large a lot more honest than your group. So a few bad guys f'd up the system. This has been going on no matter what era you choose. This righteous indignation on the part of politicians -mostly lawyers - makes my skin crawl." Let's be clear about this. Lawyers represent their clients not you. I do not expect nor should you, to be well represented by some one else's attorney. ON THE OTHER HAND A CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT is certified BY THE GOVERNMENT to ACCOUNT to the PUBLIC!!!! It is their job to test the numbers to give you their best version of the TRUTH!!!! That is the lie. When they control the legislative process to get laws passed that protects them from there own intentional misstatements, that is wrong. The SOLE purpose of Anderson Consulting was to perpetuate this fraud. A firm hired Anderson Consulting to advise them how to structure a deal so the Anderson Accountants would sign off on it. Once you ask the "CPA firm" how to get around some way to book an item, they could not tell you, and then sign off. Because there would be a Paper trail, showing they knew. That is the shredding part. It was a fiction, a lie, the whole thing is a dance so that Anderson Accounting could PRETEND they did not know. All Harvey Pitt of the SEC, appointed by Bush wants to do, is prevent THE SAME accountants from doing this. It's all right with him if two corporations get together, and Price waterhouse plays anderson consulting in one company and anderson cpa in the other company. A real chairman of the sec who had the investing public in mind would PROHIBit it entirely and make the CPA liable for there own lies, if they are adjudged to be such, not try to blame the CEO for accounting treatment. It is the company job to make money. It is the accountants job to book it as best they can. To make the CEO state that the accountants and the books are fine served only ONE purpose, and that is to protect the accountants from liability for their complicity. AND IT WILL WRECK THE STOCK MARKET. Don't you see what a trick this is on the American People? You may not like the other guys attorney, but hey, you shouldn't. He absolutely represents the other people under the law and under his oath. Make me King and I will get the market straigtened out in 30 minutes.
