WorldCom Made Up Another $2 Billion

from the what's-$2-more-billion-among-friends? dept

Well, it seems that WorldCom didn't stop at just misrecording $4 billion in expenses. There is another $2 billion mistakenly recorded according to the latest news coming out of the company. Apparently, they decided that once you hit the $4 billion mark, why not go for $2 more billion? It's not like they're going to get in any more trouble than they're in already. Maybe they'll find a few more fake billion here or there. Update: That was fast. Make it another $3.3 billion.
