'NEW YORK — Hewlett-Packard Co. said that a British company it bought for
$9.7 billion last year lied about its finances, resulting in a massive
write-down of the value of the business.

CEO Meg Whitman avoided calling it a fraud, but said Tuesday that there
were “serious accounting improprieties, disclosure failures and outright
misrepresentations at Autonomy Corporation PLC.”'


So Whitman, a CEO once at EBay, and who ran for governor of California is
just on her way to discovering that accountants/CPAs occupy the same
ethical abyss as politicians, race track touts, used car/siding
salespersons, carnival concessionaires, and religious professionals?
And these are the people who would have us believe that if we lower their
taxes, they'll turn the economy around?
