I do know that the lead engagement partner on Bankest was involved in an audit of a troubled company, that almost assuredly would have come to the attention of BDO’S US headquarters.

One year prior to the finding of massive fraud at the company, that very same job was selected for peer review in the Miami office, and, miraculously, no problems were found. Just how exactly that occurred is still somewhat of a mystery.

One more thing. Thanks to a phony internal investigation, BDO, senior management and others, were able to convince the nitwits at the SEC that no criminality was involved.

And who do you suppose was one of the company’s significant investors? Michael Lauer’s Lancer hedge fund.

Perhaps there’s mob involvement somewhere to be found in all of this…

By the way, did your visitor from the State Department come from DC or New York?
