Kenneth Lay comments on WorldCom

Lincoln Bedroom -- "Kenny Boy" Lay responded to questions about WorldCom: "Hiding expenses isn't a story. It even took them five quarters to hide barely $3 billion. We were stealing half a billion dollars a day, just from Californians. Hiding *that* kind of money is what counts. We also managed to pull a billion out for the executives, and more than three billion for our partners -- in just a couple of weeks before filing bankruptcy papers. So don't get me started on WorldCom. Where are the off-shore accounts? How many WorldCom execs got Bush appointments? Did you see WorldCom flooding Florida with money to prevent counting black votes? No! Don't get me started on WorldCom."
