Bernard Ebbers Fraud. Nearly 30,000 Employees Lost Their Jobs.
In 2002 the WorldCom fraud scandal broke, resulting in a filing for bankruptcy in which nearly 30,000 employees lost their jobs. This fraud contributed to the demise of the public accounting firm Arthur Andersen and Company, which resulted in additional job losses. WorldCom Chief Executive Bernard Ebbers was tried, found guilty, and sentenced to 25 years in prison in March 2005.
In December 2019, Judge Valerie Caproni (1) granted Ebbers’ release at the request of his relatives, citing health reasons. Ebbers was 78 years old, having served 13 years of his 25-year sentence. Ebbers died at home less than a year later in 2020.
The fraud cases against WorldCom and Enron are considered two of the largest examples of accounting fraud in the financial history of the United States. These cases are narrated in this book.
