Who knew??


A Congressional hearing into the workings of the S.E.C. is scheduled soon. People want to know how it was the S.E.C. failed to heed warnings about scammers on Wall Street. Were these smart people just duped??? I don't think so. I believe they chose to look the other way, just like Enron's auditors. Remember them (Arthur Anderson.)? Remember the Kansas City building inspectors and the New York City building inspectors who ignored problems in structures that later failed? Same thing. I once asked a CPA friend how it was that Mexico enjoyed such a high level of corruption in government if the books were audited? His response: "The auditors are in on it." OBVIOUSLY. This woman is looking the other way, but I'm pretty sure she's not an auditor.
