摘要

The accounting scandal at WorldCom has caused misery for investors, creditors and employees of the telecoms firm. Harvey Pitt appears to see it as a great opportunity. In his first ten months as chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), America's chief markets regulator, Mr Pitt has been attacked for failing to show leadership in tackling the glaring failings of Wall Street and of America's corporate bosses. Critics accused him of dragging his feet because, they alleged, conflicts of interest led the securities lawyer to put his former private clients-espe-cially the big audit firms-before the public interest. WorldCom has given him a chance to show that he is in charge and on the right side. "There's a very tough cop on the beat here," thundered Mr Pitt on any television show that would have him, after WorldCom admitted on June 25th that it had falsely boosted profits by $3.8 billion. Promising to "clean this mess up", he announced that the company would be prosecuted for fraud, and that the SEC would go after the millions of dollars that executives earned as a result of their own fraud. "The American public is outraged," he says. "And in my view, criminal charges may be too good for the people who brought about this mess." His conversion has prompted much scepticism, not least among Wall Street folk surprised to hear such black-and-white statements from a man so nuanced in the shades of grey that make up America's securities laws.
