摘要

When the securities & Exchange Commission launched an inquiry of fallen-from-grace WorldCom last month, it served up an eight-page letter covering two dozen topics. Investigators are mum, but the SEC is pursuing areas that neatly mirror the picture painted by some customers, former employees and several lawsuits―a picture of a company with major operational problems that were masked by deceptive bookkeeping. The allegations are that WorldCom inflated revenues by possibly several billion dollars in recent years. The company is accused of double-billing some customers and letting others run up huge tabs; often the latter were fly-by-night resellers with slim chances of paying their bills. At first the practice was inadvertent, but later, according to several employees quoted in a shareholder suit, it became intentional. It was, apparently, a necessary part of stoking revenue growth at a time when telecom prices were plummeting in the fiber glut.
