Stephen S. Stephens v. Richard B. Cheney, et. al. (et. al. = Halliburton-Jungs)
Hi,
interessant was das Netz heute so alles bietet. Diese angekündigte bzw. schon erfolgte Anklage der Firm Halliburton inkl. Cheney - ja, der Aussenminister - wurde gestern bereits publiziert, aber nun ist die Anklageschrift zu lesen.
Ach ja, die Jungs von AA - genau, Arthur Anderson, waren auch mit von der Partie. *g*
Die HP von judicial watch ist diesbezüglich recht informativ, aber auch etwas obskur wenn man sich so andere Gerichtsfälle (Cuba und der Irak wurden angeklagt) anschaut.

Stephen S. Stephens v. Richard B. Cheney, et. al.

On Information and belief, Cheney even participated in an AA promotional video for AA, stating that?I get good advice, if you will, from their people based upon how we?re doing business and how we?re operating over and above just the normal by-the-books auditing arrangements.?
~ On information and belief, beginning in or about the fourth quarter of 1998 and without making disclosure to its shareholders or investors, Halliburton, the Director and Officer Defendants, and the Accountant Defendants changed, caused a change in, and/or went along with the Change in Accounting Principle so as to report at least $89 million of revenues to cover disputed, unresolved cost overruns on long-term construction projects, on the undisclosed and speculative assumption that its customers would pay the disputed amounts......

Jetzt könnten also Exemple statuiert werden, auf geht's Herr Bush.
Mal sehen was draus wird, jedenfalls war das timing der Klage mehr als auffällig.
einen schönen Abend wünscht
