Got Fraud?

Filed in archive Legal on June 30, 2006

We've covered quite a few unsavory actors here. Spyware from SonyBMG and Microsoft, payola from the Universal and other record labels. and P2P scam sites. Just doing our job, ma'am.

If you want the full course meal, head on over to FraudFiles. Tracy Coenen provides excellent coverage on the issue. For example, you may recall slimeball Richard Scrushy, founder and former CEO of HealthSouth Corp. He was acquitted on accounting fraud (Sorry, your honor, I make one million dollars a year as a shrewd businessman. But understanding my books, which requires a ninth grade education, is beyond me.) But there's a happy ending. He was just convicted of bribery. Maybe his future bunkmate Bubba will be an ex-HealthSouth employee who can personally thank Scrushy for losing his job and his retirement pension.
