Bigger Than Enron

Breaking news! Arthur Andersen, 89 year old accounting firm going bankrupt due to bad accounting. With honesty and and proper performance they could have abstained from such things. Members of the of the company should have just focused on doing it right the first time. Instead of trying to create all these loopholes, in which did not end up benefiting them in the end.
