I've got my pencil, and I'm playing your game of connect the dots. It looks like the dots are going to end up in a picture of any ugly monster! LOL

Here are a few more dots: In March 1999 Global Crossing bought out Frontier for $11.2 billion in stock. From that moment there were many on Wall Street who warned that GX greed would catch up to it. The people, especially unionized personnel at Frontier worried that the agreement allowed their pension plan to be raided. That was still a concern a year later. What has happened to the pension funds for GX and Frontier is yet another worthy story.

Some other things to consider: Why was former SecDef William Cohen named to Global Crossing Board of Directors last year. Was he an easy mark? Certainly it brought no credit to his own Cohen Group, a Kissinger group wannabe. Then there are other relationships, e.g., the Asia Global Crossing group, the presence of the Trust Company of the West in all this, and one wonder's what Silicon Valley tycoon Jeo J. Hindery Jr., has to say about his own stupid involvement with Global Crossing. Then too, someone might want to get to Tom Goff, Global Crossing, Beverly Hills; now there would be a good interview.
