Here is a message from management saying these are the numbers we want to report, go ahead and figure out how to report them, |
Here is a middle management guy watching them cook the books, feeling uncomfortable and yet being unable to extricate himself from the situation, |
I don't think the messenger is what potentially presents a 'good' or 'misleading' message. It's the message. That's what you've got to focus on. Frankly, I think patients delivering the message are the best ones. They tell real stories. They can talk from some experience. |
I got the sense that this bill has a real chance of passing the Senate, |
I investigated, discovered one deal in which one employee of Enron was negotiating for Enron supposedly in one of these partnership deals with another member of Enron, |
I think the whole process stinks, |
I think there is now a presumption of bias in the reporting, and that the networks will have a duty when they do come before us in our hearing to overcome that presumption. |
I think we're finding what may clearly end up being security fraud, ... Attempts not to hedge or put debt out of the company, which many companies do, [but] literally fraudulent, phony attempts to do so in violation of current accounting practices, practices that should've been discovered by Enron's auditors at Arthur Andersen. |
I would not be surprised if some criminal indictments come out of this, |
I would want my daughter to know about that right away. |
I've got companies with planes standing by, trucks standing by. |
If all you see is what you see on television, no wonder they have a negative impression of the industry. It looks like the industry is profiting from disease instead of being a partner in health care. |
If it's a medicine that makes a difference in whether you're going to get cancer or not, you probably ought to get it out a little quicker. |
If the networks and the VNS system made a mistake, the first good thing to do is to say we made a mistake and many of you did, ... And the second good thing you can do is to find out how you can fix it so it doesn't happen again. |
If the report is accurate there may be some criminal charges, |
