Greg Kyte Almost Got His Butt Kicked Over Value Pricing at AccountingWEB Live

Posted on by Adrienne Gonzalez

In case you haven't noticed, the GC Brain Trust is in Dallas, TX this week for AccountingWEB Live, which would explain why we've been a little quiet the last few days.

After Ron Baker's session, entitled Trashing the Timesheet: A Declaration of Independence, AWeb Live panelist Mark Lloydbottom stormed on set and accused Greg of being a "VeraSage stooge." I'm not joking, those were his exact words. Apparently Mark is not a fan of the Gospel According to Ron Baker.

With only 10 minutes between sessions, we were short on time for Mark to clock Greg in the face, but he very nearly did.

We've still got part of the day left, we'll let you know if Greg ends up with a shiner. If he does, it's all good, we've got makeup on set.

Ex-PwC Associate Sues NYU to Get His MBA Back

So waaaay back in the early to mid Aughts when Ayal Rosenthal was slumming over at 300 Madison, he got a little entrepreneurial (P. Dubs auditors don’t make shit, you know) with his Dad, two brothers and a host of others. They made a little bit of extra dough ($3.7 million) by running an insider trading scheme based on various tips, some of which were related to clients that Ayal worked on at PwC.

By the grace of God, the SEC caught on to the shenanigans and busted the gang in early 2007 (was this the reason they missed Madoff, Stanford?).


For this little stunt, NYU revoked AR’s MBA after the SEC brought the charges against him. He’s now suing the University because, “the university was ‘excessive and unfair,’ and that the proceedings violated his right to a ‘fair and timely hearing’ because NYU took nearly seven months before considering his case in September 2007.”

First of all, if an academic institution gets back to you in seven months, we’d say that’s a pretty decent response time. Second, “unfair” doesn’t work on anyone.

Having said that, we know full well how hard the young lad must have worked to get that MBA, so we’re not surprised that he wants the prestigious degree back.

If NYU really wanted an airtight reason for taking his degree they should have cited his inability to dupe the SEC for less than five years. Open and shut.
