Arthur Andersen settles its liability in Worldcom 2002's bankruptcy for $65 million. Andersen overlooked accounting manipulations and fraud. "That fraud could have been stopped dead in its tracks if Arthur Andersen had been looking to do its job instead of looking to line its pockets,'' said attorney Sean Coffey. |

Former WorldCom Inc. in-house auditor Eugene Morse testified that it only took him a few hours to discover evidence of the largest securities fraud in U.S. history, a crime outside accountants claimed they didn't spot for three years. He said today that he quickly unearthed hundreds of millions of dollars in unexplained financial entries after being directed by a superior to investigate suspicious transactions in early 2002. Investors claiming securities losses are using Morse's testimony to support a claim that Andersen should have discovered the fraud at WorldCom, the second-largest U.S. long-distance company, before signing off on a sale of more than $15 billion in company bonds. Andersen said the fraud was so well-hidden by WorldCom officials, including convicted Chief Executive Officer Bernard Ebbers, that they couldn't have been expected to find it. Andersen is being sued under U.S. laws that require participants in the sales of securities to inspect the financial health of the issuing company closely. |
