Quote of the Day: He’s Also Good at Stalking | 02.03.10

Posted on February 4, 2010 by Caleb Newquist

“I suspect he takes much more pleasure in baiting opponents than he does in running a company. The evidence he is good at baiting is much clearer than the evidence he is good at managing.”

~ Floyd Norris, New York Times Columnist on the Farmville obsessed, Segway Cowboy Patrick Byrne.

Handicapping Ernst & Young

  • Caleb Newquist
  • November 2, 2010

Ernst & Young, take my word for it, will never be indicted by the U.S. government, as a firm, for its role in any Lehman fraud that’s eventually proven. It’s also highly unlikely – 1000 to 1 odds I’d say – EY will be fined by the SEC or the PCAOB, as a firm, in a civil or disciplinary case.

~ Francine McKenna says it’s a longshot.
