These guys knew two years ago that the off the book items were going to ba problems. They have been expecting a huge economic downturn for month and have perpared for it.

I find it funny, having worked for these thugs for years, that they seem to think that Sarbanes-Oxley does not apply to them.

They have zero internal cotrols on client data, and have 45 terrabytes of data that they keep on file servers across the US and have no clue what that data is.

Some of the offices are like drunken frat parties, and a number of execs have been taged for dui.

The drug use has not got out much, but there is a reason that the admin offices are in Tampa Florida. With idots that built a $25 million data center in a catagory one huricane evacuation zone.

When hurricane Charley came in a few years back it was predicted to hit the Tampa area. The PwC dolts asked for volunteers to ride out the storm in the datacenter, until Hillsborough County goverment told them that the area was a mandatory evacuation zone.

And these people are to be trusted?

No “withholding, ” just other stories and personal and professional priorities that have taken precedence for the time being. In the meantime, several other blogs and mainstream media journalists have agreed with and elaborated on my concerns.

And so it’s just a matter of time before Congress and other demand more accountability from Paulson and his lieutenants with regard to the vendors and related decisions made during this “crisis.” I suspect that whatever additional agrguments or support for my contentions I’ll make will not be sufficient for some. But that’s why I raise the issue in the first place. In the end it will be up to these public servants and the vendors they choose to prove they are up to the job, or they will face additional litigation.

And I am sure that given the change we have just seen in the results of todays elction we wil see Congress and others demand more accountability and investigate legitimate concerns.

Yes, we did have an election today. Maybe it wasn’t the result some were hoping for. But it exceeded my wildest dreams. So I’m going back to enjoying the moment now.

On 10/22,you wrote: “As far as PwC’s experience and capacity to handle what they’ve been handed recently, the facts speak for themselves. They will be provided in a later post.” Two days later, you reiterated that you “have the facts”. It’s been 2 weeks, and we still wait with baited breath for your “facts”. You claim to be in possession of these “facts”,yet two weeks have passed and you have not shared them.

What are these “facts” concerning PwC’s experience and capactiy? Why are you withholding these “facts” for weeks without posting?
