Global Crossing named in bubble-era IPO scams? I'm shocked, Shocked (/end Claude Rains impersonation). And where were the co-presidents Clinton during all of this?
We now know that Hitlery was drumming up support for her Senate bid by selling pardons to voting blocs - a bunch of terrorists, crooks, thieves and scam artists (her faithful constituency), and BillyBoy was getting it on with internmonica and other sluts.
Excellent Clayde Rains imitation, by the way. :-)
I would love to see the legal discovery process on DNC Chairman and Clinton rubber stamp stooge Terry ("Makes $18,000,000 Profit On $100,000 Global Crossing stock fraud") McAuliffe.
Can anyone help me locate the particular lawyers are representing the investors swindled by McAiliffe? I would send these lawyers one fierce letter filled with suggestions!
Suit Filed Against Officers and Directors of Global Crossing, Ltd.
February 14, 2002
- Milberg Weiss today announced that a class action has been commenced in the United States District Court for the Central District of California on behalf of purchasers of Global Crossing Ltd. ("Global Crossing") (NYSE:GX) publicly traded securities during the period between February 14, 1999 and October 4, 2001 (the "Class Period"), including those persons who acquired Global Crossing common stock pursuant to a merger which closed on September 28, 1999 betwee Global Crossing and Fronteir Corporation. If you wish to discuss this action or have any questions concerning this notice or your rights or interests, please contact plaintiff's counsel, William Lerach or Darren Robbins of Milberg Weiss at 800/449-4900 or via e-mail at wsl@milberg.com.
The complaint charges certain of Global Crossing's officers and directors with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Due to its recent bankruptcy filing, Global Crossing is not named as a defendant in the action. The complaint alleges that during the Class Period, defendants issued false and misleading statements and press releases concerning Global Crossing's financial statements, their ability to offset declining wholesale demand for bandwidth capacity with higher-margin, customized data services and the Company's ability to generate sufficient cash revenue to service its debt. During the Class Period, before the disclosure of the true facts, the Individual Defendants and certain Global Crossing insiders sold their personally held Global Crossing common stock generating more than $1.5 billion in proceeds and the Company raised over $7 billion in debt and equity offerings.
However, the full extent of Global Crossing's cash flow crisis, and its failure to compete in the market for customized communications services, began to emerge on October 4, 2001. On that date, the Company issued a string of stunning announcements: cash revenues in the third quarter would be approximately $1.2 billion, $400 million less than the $1.6 billion expected by a consensus of analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial/First Call. The cash revenue shortfall was purportedly the result of a "sharp falloff" in wholesale IRU sales to carrier customers. The Company further announced that it expected recurring adjusted EBITDA to be "significantly less than $100 million" compared to forecasts of $400 million. Following these announcements, Global Crossing's share priced plunged by 49% to $1.07 per share.
Plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of all purchasers of Global Crossing publicly traded securities during the Class Period (the "Class"). The plaintiff is represented by Milberg Weiss Bershad Hynes & Lerach LLP, who has expertise in prosecuting investor class actions and extensive experience in actions involving financial fraud.

As I've always said, any news day that mentions GX's dealings is a good news day, eh, Miss M? Gosh, they might even connect the dots to McAwful's profiteering.
Nice that you noticed my really great CR impersonation. Gettin' pretty good at it, if I do say so myself.
It just aggravates me that they get away with this line, in addition to all the corruption. Oh, well. Perhaps eventually enough people will see the truth.
EBITDA was the accounting trick that killed WorldCom. The reliance of the '90s bull market on the EBITDA financial metric's infallibility is proving to be a mistake.
During the corrupt Clinton-era Bubble years, all the players - professional and amateur investor alike regarded EBITDA as the more reliable indicator of a company's financial health than the old reliable - net income.
EBITDA's acceptance was based on the assumption that it was the financial equivalent of a tamper-proof padlock.
Or as AlGore was wont to say.....a lockbox.
I would like to have Gramps' take on this.
As they say, in politics, perception is everything.
