Is reporting on the findings considered "talking quite a lot of sh$t"?

  Well I guess not, but a statement like “the company engaged in ‘old-fashioned embezzlement’” seems like a little more colored than a vanilla reporting of the findings. This seems like more of a prosecutorial statement. I guess these bankruptcy “CEOs” are essentially agents of the Justice Dept/govt in any case, though? In that light these sorts of statements make more sense.

    It's not real "old-fashioned" embezzlement without some good rye whiskey

    He was countering the argument that it was sophsticated like Enron: they didnt cook the books to appear healthy, they just took money from the company accounts to buy houses, with no records. Zero sophistication, plain old emblezzlement.
