Halwr's Spear leaves the damaged raider ship behind, and Captain Halvhand profoundly thanks Lorin and Wisse for their bravery in executing their clever teleportation ruse. He is in their debt for saving his ship, his passengers, and their cargo. If they ever decide how he can repay them, he will gladly do so.
After the victory, our heroes and several of Halwr's Spear's crewmen discuss what to do next: should they turn around and help the other ships with Svarttand's refugees or should they count their blessings and proceed to port. Captain Halvhand ends the discussion: he says that they wouldn't stand a chance against a little under sixty raiders: their resources are spent, and they are in no shape to fight. The others agree, albeit reluctantly, and Halwr's Spear continues on its way to Sorwic.
The rest of the journey is thankfully uneventful. On the morning of the fourteenth day after she made port in Svarttand, Halwr's Spear finally reaches the bustling harbor of the grand city of Sorwic on Adelfan, which lies in a bend of the river Fluwaling just beyond the estuary where it flows into the Sea of Cairns. The city is one of the largest our heroes have ever seen: a sprawling hub of mostly wooden houses, enclosed by a stone wall with a moat and laced with canals crowded with small ships and rowboats. At the center of the city stands a massive keep of black stone laced with green veins: the players know this is the Djortor, seat of the king of Oesrike, which in the tongue of the ulder--who ruled Sorwic when its name was still Cromnech--is called the Tuir'Deora.
As they make port, Captain Halvhand tells our heroes the king must receive word of the events on Svarttand: Bjorn Lodesonn was one of his bannermen, Svarttand a fief he held in the king's name. As such, the king should know the fate of his man and his holdings. Perhaps, Captain Halvhand adds, the king will reward those who bring him the news, even if the news be ill. Our heroes agree to go with him, and they depart for the Djortor immediately after making port in Sorwic. They say their goodbyes to Erskin, who tells Lorin that--should he ever need some real mercenary work--he can come visit him at a Sorwic inn called the Baying Cat.
Captain Halvhand leads our heroes to the Djortor, a strong and practical keep rather than a fancy palace. An elder man receives them. Judging by his scars, he must have seen his share of battles. This man, Aldrek, leads them to the modest throne room where King Bern Rodriksonn holds court. Bern Rodriksonn is a warrior-king, strong and with well-honed weapons always within arm's reach. His counselors and thanes are no different. He welcomes our heroes and Captain Halvhand to his court and then bids they speak their minds.
King Bern Rodriksonn hears Lorin out and finally thanks them all for coming to him with this news and braving the many dangers they faced on Svarttand and on their way to Sorwic. He sends his counselor Aldrek off with two of his thanes to discuss what to do about Svarttand. In the meanwhile, he would reward them for their loyalty and perseverance. He asks them what they would ask of their king as a reward.
Ena and Wisse--ever eager for arcane knowledge--ask the king if there is any way he can help them procure more spells. The king can offer them access to the library of the Warlanskol, but they must wait for Aldrek to return, as he is the one who deals with the Warlanskol and can explain them what aid the king's favor may grant them there.
Lorin, Halred, and Captain Halvhand ask the king if they may choose anything of their liking from his armory. King Bern consents and has one of his servants show them to the armory. Captain Halvhand chooses a sword of Fandenhuler steel, Halred a nice pair of boots and a composite bow with several quivers of broadhead arrows, and Lorin a strong mace. Lorin also asks Captain Halvhand if he would be willing to trade the Fandenhuler chainmail hauberk he took from Svarthold Keep with Lorin's byrnie as a reward for his aid in saving Halwr's Spear. Captain Halvhand agrees; the debt between the two men is thereby settled.
When Aldrek returns, King Bern asks him to help Ena and Wisse with their request to gain access to the Warlanskol's library. Aldrek explains the Warlanskol is a magical college in Sorwic that specializes in Infusion magic, but it has tomes and volumes on much more than just that. Since the Warlanskol is not the king's to command, all Aldrek can offer is to pull a few favors and offer them access for a period of maybe six days. Wisse and Ena are happy enough with that. Finally, Aldrek says the king will also be happy to pay for their stay and that of their friends in Sorwic during those six days. He also tells them that--if they need weapons or armor--they are welcome to buy from the castle smith, who is the best smith in Sorwic. If they tell him Aldrek sent them, the smith will offer fair prices. Our heroes thank Aldrek for his help and bid him farewell. Should they ever need work, Aldrek says, they should certainly come looking for him at the Djortor: the king is always looking for capable men, and they have more than proven their mettle.

Regular trash collection schedule to resume in City of Charleston
by: Chase Laudenslager
CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) – Regular trash pickup services- including yard debris and bulk items- will resume in the City of Charleston on Monday, April 20.
City officials note that due to the high volume of trash, "it may take two to three weeks to get everything collected," but crews will pick up as much as they can on their normal routes.
Garbage (meaning items inside green carts) collection will continue on its current schedule. Precautionary measures, such as crews not picking up any materials left outside of the carts, will remain in place. These measures are "in an effort to limit employees' potential exposure to COVID-19."
Items that do not fit in the garbage bins can be taken to Charleston County Convenience Centers.

Fibre optic cables could flood the Eastern coast of Africa, if plans by the South African and Kenyan governments, as well as various independent investors, come to fruition. Some of the plans are in fairly advanced stages, and seem likely to materialise faster than the inter-governmental East African Submarine Cable System (EASSy), whose take-off has been dogged by wrangles among stakeholders.
Efforts to construct fibre optic cables to link this part [Eastern] of Africa to the international marine cable system have gained momentum over the last year, and are partly attributable to failure by EASSy to take off as planned. Supported by up to 16 regional governments and, 30 telecom companies, and promoted by the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD), EASSy was conceived in 2002, and as recently as January last year, its construction was anticipated to have begun by May 2006. Up to now, the ground-breaking ceremony is yet to take place.
Kenya and South Africa (SA), the two countries that have had the most vocal (and often conflicting) opinions about EASSy, have each made individual plans to connect to the international cable, as the misunderstandings over EASSy persist. What is not clear is whether these cables will be complementary to EASSy, or will offer competition that will render the premier regional infrastructure project less viable.
In South Africa, the South East Africa Telecoms (Seat) has been suggested, and the weekly magazine Financial Mail reported in January that the venture enjoyed the financial backing of giant US private equity firm Blackstone. Seat promoters are reportedly talking to South African entities they want to join in, and the magazine reported that local businessman John Mathwasa was among the brains behind this venture.
While details about Seat may still be cloudy, the position is a lot clearer regarding the ongoing expansion of Flag, which is touted as the world's largest private undersea cable system. Owned by Indian telecom operator Reliance Communications, Flag Telecom owns and manages an extensive optic fibre network spanning Asia, Europe, the Middle East and USA. In the second half of this year, Flag hopes to connect the Kenyan port city of Mombasa to the network it is building in the Gulf region.
Flag Telecom has said the cable will further link SA to Kenya via Mozambique, Tanzania, Madagascar and Mauritius as part of a plan to revamp its global network by the end of 2009.
In mid 2006, Kenya Data Networks, a signatory to the EASSy memorandum of understanding, clinched a deal with Flag Telecom to construct a $115 million link between Mombasa and Yemen. Kenya says it wants to have multiple links to the international fibre optic network, to spur competition, enable affordable services and more reliable communications.
On January 31 2007, Kenyan Information and Communications minister Mutahi Kagwe signed a $2.7 million contract with Tyco Telecommunications to undertake a survey on the construction of The East African Marine Systems (Teams), an $80 million link between Mombasa and Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates. It is a venture where Telkom Kenya (majority owned by the government) will hold a 40% stake and Etisalat of Dubai a 20% shareholding. Private investors, who are likely to buy shares off the Nairobi Stock Exchange, will hold the remaining 40%. The plan is to complete the cable by November this year, though some independent analysts say it is not likely that the cable would come on stream before the second quarter of 2008.
Having alterative fibre optic providers should ideally have the effect of slashing international bandwidth prices which, until now, have been kept artificially high by monopolistic providers, in countries where they exist. In SA, Telkom runs the only two cables linking to the international fibre system, and has been accused of keeping the tariffs artificially high. In much of eastern and southern Africa, the new cables would be able to deliver cheaper bandwidth compared to that currently supplied by satellite.
But will this be case once these cables are in the hands of private cartels over which regulators have no authority? Or should governments take an interest in these planned cables embracing Open Access principles, just as EASSy has?
Telkom has said it is concerned about the number of proposed cables along Africa's east coast, arguing that deployment of two or more cables within the same region would affect the commercial viability of all of them. But the NEPAD eAfrica Commission's Policy and Regulatory Advisor, Dr Edmund Katiti, has told Reuters that since EASSy will be operated on a cost-recovery basis, anyone wanting to compete with that will have to operate on the same basis. The catch is that by the time EASSy comes on board, it is likely to find the competitors already entrenched in the market.
For its part, Kenya has argued that Bangladesh with a population of 20 million people has three cables that are fully utilised. It would follow therefore that for countries such as Kenya to become competitive in the global outsourcing business, they need access to more than one cable.
Separately, SA's department of public enterprises is planning to use a newly created state enterprise, InfraCo (or Infrastructure Company), to build a submarine cable to link SA with other international cables in the British Virgin Islands. InfraCo has been capitalised with R647 m ($89.8 m) to enable it to provide wholesale international bandwidth to telecom operators and Internet service providers, among others.
Lyndall Shope-Mafole, the SA director general for communications, told the SA parliament in January that InfraCo, which was formed by the communications arms of Eskom (a power company) and Transnet (a transport infrastructure company), would be available for any company - including Telkom - to use at cost.

What I would like to do with this employee theft hub podcast, is bring together some other people that I've worked with and people that I haven't, that are in the employee theft area, either trade secrets or embezzlement, and ask them questions, and see if they can tell us some fun stories and see what we could learn from their various experiences. So, we'll get right to it, and like I said, welcome. If you have any questions, feel free to email me; gwood@litigation.com.
All right. We're here with, Joe Rosenbaum of Rosenbaum & Company in Marin County, a forensic consulting firm. Hello Joe.
Joe: Hi, Greg, how are you?
Greg: I'm doing pretty good. Thanks for being on my show here. Show slash experiment.
Joe:
No problem. Happy to do it.
Thank you. First question. Let's introduce you. Can you tell everybody a little bit about yourself, maybe just give us your website bio? Pick and choose what you want people to know.
Joe:Oh, sure. Well, I am a forensic accountant, and my background includes investigating financial fraud, both, financial misstatement fraud and also employee misappropriation, and embezzlement, and that sort of thing.
I've done this kind of work for over 35 years. And when I was thinking about that, it was, yikes over 35 years, but that's how long it's been. Mostly with the large, public accounting firms, some of the big four. I had a great opportunity out of college. My background was accounting, undergrad. I have an MBA and a law degree, but right out of college for my first paid gig, I had the opportunity to do an internship with Arthur Anderson in two locations in Europe, and in the Netherlands, and in Switzerland. And so that's sort of steered me on a career path toward public accounting. So, when I got back to San Francisco, I was already employed and decided, however, I wasn't going to be an auditor, but they had a couple of projects that involved forensic accounting. So, I began there and haven't looked back.
I was a partner at both Arthur Anderson and at Ernst & Young, and one of my crowning achievements of Ernst & Young was founding Ernst & Young's data discovery practice where we would do everything from capturing email and sorting through it, to looking through the metadata of various documents. So that's very handy when you're doing particularly large-scale investigations. I've been involved, like I said, in very many large cases and small cases. I testified in the largest case ever brought against the United States; the largest class action suit back in Washington, DC, with anywhere from 250 to 500,000 class members with allegations that exceeded a hundred billion at one point. All the way down to assisting on my smallest case, and that was one where an individual was stealing money out of the till at a charity Christmas street sale. So, that's a bit of my background, Greg. Any questions about that?
Greg: Yeah, that's pretty good. I don't know whether to ask about the case against the United States or the Christmas tree till - which ones were interesting. I tell you what though, having done this now for a long time, and even in the paper, you see it, there is a lot of nonprofit theft. I see all these stories about the booster club and the coach takes all the money for himself or whatever. Anyway, the Christmas tree story made me think of that. So, tell me about this case against the United States. What was that about?
Joe:Well, it's a very interesting case. It's called the Cobell case. It starts back in the 1800s. I actually had done a couple of cases that are very historical in nature, but this particular one, back in the 1800s, the United States government were trying to resettle native Americans and we're allocating plots of land around the West with the intention that these individuals would homestead. But at the same time, in the thinking of the time was that, the native Americans couldn't manage their own affairs so that the government stepped in and was going to do it for them in trust, and so they created a very, very extensive trust system where in the government was going to account for everyone would lease the land on behalf of all the individuals, keep an account for them, and provided every year the benefits.
Some people had had land that was valuable with timber, grazing, some had oil, which was even more lucrative. Anyway, at some point in time, there was an allegation that maybe the government wasn't doing their trust accounting correctly and that some of the money was being spent and misused and put into the general fund, etc., and so there was a class action brought against the government, asking for an accounting of all of these funds from way back when. Sixty minutes did an episode on it, but it was really quite an interesting thing. But, we were engaged to look at some of the names, class numbers, and trace their funds and their accounting all the way back to the 1800s forward to today.
Greg: Well, that is some serious forensic work for sure. How do you spell that, Cobell?
Joe:Cobell. C O B E L L.
Greg: Got it. Interesting. Well, there we go. Start out with a pretty good one right there. My next question to you was, where do you work now? You have your own shop in Marin County, right?
Joe:Yeah. So I took early retirement from Ernst & Young in 2010, and in 2011 formed my firm, Rosenbaum and company.
Greg: So, thank you for telling me, telling us and everybody about your past there and I will just add, I will repeat that I've worked with you, and some of your staff with great success. We worked on a case together recently in which we got a jury verdict for 10 million, which of course, I'm going to repeat in every podcast episode that I can, because I'm proud of it. But anyway, you were a part of that, and you did great. Well Rosenbaum and company did great work there and you yourself give a great expert witness presentation. So, you do, in addition to just doing the forensic work, you've testified in court a number of times, is that right?
Joe:Yeah, I've testified a number of times, but then there's also been numerous times where, for whatever reason, we have decided to not have testimony. And that's always an interesting discussion.
We had one, another historical case, where it was a very complicated case and we were working as potentially an expert would be called for the defense and in a very significant, broad matter, and the more we discussed findings, the more the defense council decided that it would make better sense to use our team as consulting experts, as opposed to testifying experts, and so we were then made aware of a lot of previously privileged information, and that freed us up quite a bit. That was really quite an interesting experience, I will say, to be really on the team of legal counsel and providing insight and suggestions as to how things ought to proceed.
But to answer your question, yes, we are always prepared to testify on just about any case we begin. As you know, most cases settle. But at the same time, we begin every case with the thought and knowledge that we are likely to be called to testify.
Greg: You know, the case that we worked on involved employee theft, but obviously, forensic investigations go beyond that. You know, just for the completely naïve and new to the world of forensic investigation, what's under the umbrella of forensic investigation in addition to finding out if employees stole or if another business partner has taken money. What else can forensic investigations involve?
Joe:Well, a lot of times, I've mentioned this briefly earlier, the use of data discovery. Forensic accounting, I think now, encompasses such a broad scope, so it's not simply looking at sort of the transactions and seeing how things were booked and the underlying records. And I will tell you a story about one of those but, also, getting into the electronic data.
So, we will have teams together side by side with legal teams looking through email. So, we'll do our searches through the various historical email batches. We can sort it out between things that hit on the accounting terms and separate those out from the legal. A lot of times we'll just do it shoulder to shoulder. But that is something we do a great deal of. Now I don't have my own data discovery and practice, but, have relationships with some very good data discovery shops that allow us to do that.
We also do a lot of interviewing, and that's really one part of the job that really does benefit from experience. When you have done all of the background work that you can look through emails, you've looked through the documentation, you've seen how transactions have been accounted for, and you're armed now with what you think might be the situation. You start conducting interviews. Usually start with those that are going to provide you some background all the way up to those that you suspect might be actually involved as a perpetrator. And it is a skill that can be and needs to be developed. It's not something that you can just jump in and be good at straight away.
Greg: Yeah. It takes me back to my first deposition, and I can't imagine what that was like, but I'm sure I was pretty bad at it. But 20 years later, and now I know it's much more of an art, asking questions and picking up on cues from the examinee.
Joe:Exactly. I mean, it's one thing to have your outline and where you think is going to go, but I will tell you numerous times, I have thrown away the outline after the first question, because the response gives you a whole new insight as to what is going on.
Greg: All right. So why don't you tell us about –you've been doing this for obviously a number of years. We won't count them, but a number of years, and you've got a lot of cases and stories behind you. And so, maybe you could tell us about your most interesting, either embezzlement or employee theft, really anything, but our focus is in the employee arena here. So, if you've got a story from there, great, but tell us, looking back on your career, what's a case that jumps out at you from your work?
It was very similar to the one we worked on. It was a situation where a small startup company that left the payroll and check processing in the hands of a single individual. And that happens a great deal. Bigger companies - you've got internal controls, you've got your checks and balances, you've got different people that would have to get involved in order to perpetrate certain kinds of frauds. But in smaller companies, a lot of times the owners are focused on growing the business or making the business better or inventing a new product and aren't really as focused on the background.
The funny one that I will tell you is one, it's not funny from the company standpoint, because they had an individual in charge who over the course of only a year and a half, a brand-new employee had come in to be responsible for payroll and accounts payable, had set up several different fictitious vendors that she was paying that were actually going directly to her bank account. She set herself up to be paid twice. So, she was listed twice on the payroll reports, but through a quirk that identified to the payroll processing company, very large payroll processing company, she was able to process these double payments to herself, but then enter a correction that would show the double payment had been reversed. In fact, the cash had gone out, but the report was changed so that when, if anyone did look at the monthly report, it would seem as though the payroll was correct, even though, an additional check had been written twice a month.
But this went on and probably would have gone on without the notice of the two founders of the company who were, like I said, busy doing something else. But what happened was a CFO of a different company called the owners of this particular company and said, we don't do any business, but why did I just receive a very large check from your company? And it turned out they did a little bit of research. The perpetrator had a spouse that worked at this other company. And over the course of the year, when one or other of the companies had a cash shortfall, this husband and wife team would simply wire money back and forth to the other company to help them cover their cashflow issues, unbeknownst to ownership of either of the two small companies. And so, it turns out that wasn't - they didn't take any of the money, they were just helping each other out. But it did uncover the fact that - sort of pointed the fact that nobody was actually minding the store and that they were able to get away with a lot of things. So that was one of the more unusual ways that fraud was uncovered, as opposed to finding it through an audit or an internal control.
Greg: Yeah, it actually brings up a good point. It's interesting how these things get uncovered. How much did the perpetrator take in that case? Do you remember?
Joe:I do. Here we're talking about a company, like I said, it was a startup that had only approximately $10 million dollars in sales and over a year and a half, this employee had walked away with somewhat over a million and a half dollars. So, I mean, it was on the one hand astounding that these founders did not realize that a 10th of their sales had been embezzled, but they were, like I said, they were busy on other things.
Greg: Yeah. I am really reluctant to blame the victim, but in each one of these embezzlement cases, there is some room to do that. I've been on the defense and the prosecution side, and in every case you do have to go to management at some point and say, did you ever look at a financial document for 12 months or beyond? Had you looked at it, you might've seen some of these things, that over time sort of get more and more glaring and ugly.
And that is a situation where you've got an individual that is completely in charge of - you know, there's really no oversight as you point out. I mean, no one really ever looks, but there are other situations, and another one that I'll tell you, that involves a little collaboration, and this is one where it's a fraud nonetheless, but it was one that was sort of widely known, but I don't think a lot of the participants actually viewed it as such, and it was one that we kind of stumbled upon in doing some investigation about one aspect of a division of a very large fortune 500 company. But what we noticed were, you know, some odd accounting for reserves, and reserves are - it's an accounting construct where you're essentially putting money away for a rainy day. I shouldn't say it that way, but that's the way sometimes it's done. You've got an unforeseen event or, sorry, an unquantifiable event that you know is going to take place in the future, and so you might reserve some money set aside for it,
Greg: Just as examples. Insurance companies obviously have reserves for each case, but they don't know what the ultimate up comes is going to be, but also manufacturers, right, or warranty plans? They maintain fairly decent reserves.
Joe:And actually that's exactly what was going on here. It was in fact a warranty claim. But the interesting thing is that the warranty expense seemed to vary a little more than you would have expected. And ultimately, we determined that the management team of this division was being compensated in a bonus arrangement by whether or not they met certain profitability measures, which is not uncommon. But the thing is that every quarter they either just barely met the profitability standard or missed it by a great deal, and comparing the bonus calculations to how they were setting the reserves pointed out quite clearly, that they were using - if they had a particularly, horrible quarter where they knew they were not going to make their bonus targets, they would go ahead and set reserves at a very high level. In other words, set aside a lot more money, and then, in a quarter where there was going to be a close call, they would reduce these reserves and therefore increase profitability, and therefore, have the bonus kick in. So it was quite an interesting discovery, which I will say, did not go over well at the board level when we were making the presentation, since the CEO of that division had been thought of as a likely successor in a few years to the CEO of the company.
Greg: Yeah, that sounds like a good one. And give us some insight. So, in a situation like that, who hired you to do what? How did this thing unfold? What kind of work did you guys do? Just sort of, if you could deep dive a little bit into the work on that case, just to give people an insight into what a forensic investigation in that sort of context looks like.
Joe:Well, in that context, when they're in this, like I said, it wasn't necessarily just this bonus, but there were some other things. But if there is any, in this particular case, there was an indication that there might be some financial statement, misrepresentations or manipulation. And so, in that case, which is common, if there is a suspicion that maybe there might be someone in the "management chain" involved, the board of directors would step in. And so, it will be set up as an investigation by the board, and in many cases, they'll set up a small subcommittee of the board of directors to be more hands-on and involved in this investigation.
And so, we, as forensic accountants would, work together and under the purview and privilege umbrella of outside counsel and conduct an investigation to see whether or not any of the allegations were true, or whether they were not true. At the same time, if we uncover anything else that might be a problem, we're obliged to bring that to everyone's attention as well. But in many of the cases that I've worked on, we have been - our clients so to speak is the board of directors or a subcommittee of the board. And so we would conduct our investigation. As I said, one of the examples earlier we would, and did get email from a number of people that we could then sort through and see if there's any discussion about any of the financial statement or misrepresentation. We looked at a lot of the records and then we conducted interviews.
And ultimately what we do is we present our findings to the board of directors. The board of directors then has to make a decision as to what to do, whether it's going to be dismissing management or somehow - you know - dealing with management at that level. But some of the cases, then they have to decide whether or not they're going to report it to either both the DOJ and, or the, the SEC. So that either the, if it's a publicly traded company, the securities and exchange commission wants to know about any issues with financial statements and the department of justice, likewise likes to know about any fraudulent manipulation.
Greg: Right. So, in this case, you were - this manufacturer - the board of directors must have had some suspicion or at least wanted to run something down, hired you guys and then you guys came in, and probably not welcomed at least by the warranty division folks that were being investigated. But, you go in and start asking for records and emails and start conducting interviews. And where did the interviews happen? Did they happen on the company's premises or somewhere else?
Joe:Almost all interviews will happen on company premises. There have been situations where, we can do them remotely, or someone would prefer not to be seen talking to the folks doing investigations - they'd rather not be seen on site, but by in and large, a conference room is set up and we'll come and just invite people to have their interview taken.
Greg: And do they know why you're there? Or do you have to say you're there for a different reason, something, you know, more -
Joe:No, there have been times when we are viewed more as sort of regular auditors, but by in large there's no real reason to sugar coat it or to try to do anything too sneaky. It's usually known. We don't advertise it, but word gets out. It's amazing how the water-cooler-talk and the grapevine will announce your presence within an hour of arriving on site
Greg: Yeah. In that case that you were talking about with the warranty and the reserves, how many people were involved with the scheme?
Joe: There were - I am going to say not many. Maybe three or four. And like I said, I don't know that they really viewed it as being that bad, unfortunately. And that maybe infects a lot of white-collar crime is that, I think they were simply of the opinion that this is the way things were done. If it had been done that way, the prior quarter or quarters before, let's just continue to do it, that's just the way work is done. And I've seen that in other occasions too, where people are failed to really ask a hard question of themselves. What exactly are we really doing? And is this right? But in that case, we did interview folks and they explained, I mean, when you have the documentation and you have email evidence, and you already know going in, or have a real suspicion as to what was going on. It's very difficult for someone to try to convince you otherwise. Some try, but most will acknowledge what was done and maybe trying to make an excuse, but, in this situation, we never did interview the CFO directly. We got to the point where we knew exactly what was happening. We didn't really need to interview that individual. We just presented it the board and the board, in that case, did go to both DOJ and the SEC. But they also disciplined the CEO. I think he was let go very unceremoniously soon thereafter.
Greg: Right, right. And you did another thing that, you touched upon is - there is this sort of amazing, I'm going to call it an entitlement - a sense of entitlement, even in the most egregious employee theft where they're just taking money. They will find so many ways to rationalize and justify what they were doing. And you very rarely if ever see any remorse from them or any recognition that, Oh, yeah, you're right, this was - even the ones that get the FBI gets involved and they go to prison. I've taken their deposition, and none of them have said, yeah, I screwed up, that was a bad thing. You never hear that.
Joe:I'll tell you one more story, Greg. I hope you have time.
I do. Yeah, yeah.
There was one case where, and it was kind of interesting. I don't remember exactly what prompted the investigation, but we were working for the board in a company. It was a private company, but they had had hopes of going public. And so, it was built up by the CEO. He was a very hands-on CEO. He had a fairly compliant CFO, chief financial officer. They had hoped to take the company public, but it kind of run into some problems. The sales were a bit lagging and they didn't think they were going to be able to go public, but they then pinned their hopes on trying to sell it to a bigger company. And this would benefit everybody in the company, obviously. An IPO would allow everyone to cash in some of the stock that they had, or the options that they had. Obviously more benefit to the officers.
But they started down this slippery slope and started doing some things that were really bad. They started falsifying sales, saying that the shipments were made and putting them over in the corner of the warehouse. This is some of the things that maybe you or your listeners have heard about, but that does happen. This was a company here in the U.S. but were making a lot of sales in Asia. But one of the other things they tried to do to get it ready for sale - on a sale was being negotiated, was to show that their gross margins were really good, but that they were just spending a lot of time with sales and that was why the company wasn't very profitable. So they had a real incentive to show that the gross margins were okay.
And I'll briefly explain that in a financial statement, a gross margin is essentially a calculation of how much every sale is going to benefit you. So, every sale is worth a lot of money, that's great, and then you can still lose money by trying to increase the number of sales through some of your marketing efforts and things like that. But the gross margin, how much money you make on every sale, is a widely looked at metric. So one of the things that they did, they started cutting their prices, but they didn't want to show this because the gross margin would suffer. So instead, they created some documentation that made some of these discounts for the discounted revenues appear as if they were marketing costs. And so even though the bottom line is the same, it looks a little better to someone thinking of buying the company.
The board is - we were doing this and we didn't really have a lot of hard documentation. We had heard a number of these things we had not yet visited Asia. We were pretty sure that we understood what the code words were in the email that we were listening to, but the board was still a little in disbelief that this would happen and could happen. And during one of the presentations that I made, which changed their mind completely was one, in which, I said, okay, here are a number of documents, and I'm going to walk you through and explain why we think it is the way we are, but I want you to take these next two. And I want you to hold them up to the light, put them together and hold them up to the light. And what you can see is that there, these two documents were exactly the same, except that the middle part of it had been whited out and change from one document to the other. And I had received these two documents during an interview in someone's office, where I was simply talking about how they did document these various discounts. And the individual did not think they were doing anything wrong, just doing what they were told and had kept copies of both the original and the one that had been whited out and changed. So that definitely changed the entire tenant investigation
Greg: Yeah
Joe:At that point, we never got to interview the CEO because he fled the country to his home in a foreign country that did not have an extradition treaty with the United States.
Greg: Now, that is a good story. Yeah. I definitely think if you're getting the whiteout out, that right there should trigger something in your mind, something's wrong. Nobody uses whiteout, but still - that's a fun one. Go ahead.
You know, Greg, nobody uses white out anymore, but documents now are just as easy to manipulate. You can manipulate PDFs. And that I think is a big challenge now because it is easy to change electronic documents. And the only way to really understand and combat that is to have someone look at what the metadata of documents should do. It's not sufficient any longer to simply look at a hard copy document. You really need to look at the underlying electronic document.
Greg: And so that kind of ties into what you were saying when you were just describing some of the experience that you have. So you were talking a lot about that discovery practice and forensic investigations being more than just following the money, which is at least one pillar of what forensic investigation is, and I'm sure you'd agree, but it sounds like another pillar, especially in this day and age, like you say, with electronic documents so easily manipulated, that any good forensic investigator is going to need to know what to look for when it comes to just looking at invoices and records and just being able to tell by looking at them saying, Hey, you know what, this one's a little bit off. This one is where we need to dig into this a little bit more.
Joe:Absolutely. A healthy sense of skepticism, or maybe even an unhealthy sense of skepticism is sometimes required when doing some of these investigations
Greg: You mentioned startups a couple of times and doing some work in that space. There's so much money to be had when these companies convert, whether it's going public or being bought or whatever. There's so much pressure, you know, to make sure the deal goes through or even get the company to be inviting, and then, step two, to make sure the deal goes through. Really a lot of pressure on people, and they stand to make so much money. It seems to me, that's just an area that's ripe for fraud, or just very inviting for fraud.
Joe: Well, I will tell you, that's absolutely correct. And you've got different motivations. And so there's, I'll explain one, one other recent investigation that we did.
It was a startup company that several of the investors were well-known individuals and well-known companies that had put money into this. Ultimately, the company was not viable. And so they commissioned an investigation as to what went wrong in an attempt to point blame. And there were instances of, expense account abuse. There were large parties and first-class travel to go to different conferences and things like that that you could classify as a problem. But the truth of the matter was that, the investors were hoping just like everybody else, that this was going to be a home run company. And whether they knew of some of these abuses or whether they chose to ignore them, they were fairly obvious. If they had taken any opportunity to look at all, and these were sophisticated investors. But it's only after the music stops that suddenly they want to assign blame. So there are a lot of situations that are a little different when it comes to startup companies in today's environment, because so many of these startup companies can get very big very quickly and make a lot of money for the founders and early investors.
Yeah and you know -
A lot of them go belly up.
Greg: You know what always surprises me too is, I think it's almost a myth that if you have an audited financial statement that somehow the company is clean. And I mean, I do work with accountants. So I know and, anybody who's got an audit the engagement letter says, the audit is not going to detect fraud, it's not designed to detect fraud. And yet that's really the main tool that investors use when determining money. You have an audited financial statement. Okay. And they sort of stopped there. I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but an audited financial statement is not designed to detect fraud. It doesn't tell you whether fraud is going on.
Joe:No, you are 100% correct. And there's actually a term for that in the world of accountants. And it's called the expectation gap. And that expectation gap is exactly what you described. An audit opinion states very clearly what it is and what it isn't. But you're right. Some tend to view it as a little bit more broad than it's intended. So over the years, different of the regulatory bodies have added requirements that auditors consider fraud in their audit, in order to kind of help narrow that expectation gap. But it's not completely narrowed there, but you're absolutely right.
Audited financial statement is not a guarantee that the company is sound or well-managed or going to be around for longer than - well, there's one provision if it's a growing concern that you have questions as to whether it's going to last a year -
Right, right
But there's no question that it's going to be able to make it through a year. There's no guarantee that it's going to be ultimately successful. So there is that big expectation gap. And that is why a lot of times accounting firms get sued, but generally are able to be dismissed from suits pretty quickly based upon the audit opinion, what it says and says it's doing and what it's not doing.
Greg: Yes, yes. Like I've said, I defended accounting firms and we're usually able to get out based on, stated in the engagement letter and in the opinion itself, unless there was something done wrong with the audit. But if the audit was done correctly, the fact that there was fraud was not detected doesn't keep the accounting for a minute.
Well, thank you, Joe. I really appreciate you taking the time. You've obviously got some awesome war stories there. Very interesting cases if CEOs are fleeing the country. I don't know how you can beat that. That is a job well done. I would say if you've caused management to hop on a plane and fly away.
So anyway, thank you very much for taking time out. I really appreciate it. I would encourage anybody in the San Francisco community - any startup who is under pressure and suspects something to call you and anybody else too, that is in this forensic work. But thank you very much.
Joe: Okay, not a problem, Greg. I'll talk to you soon.
Greg: Okay. Have a good one, Joe.
Okay. Thanks.

Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency or JAXA's Hayabusa 2 spacecraft is all set to land on Earth within a few days. The craft is bringing soil samples from an asteroid called Ryugu and is expected to land in a remote location in Australia by 5 December.
According to the official Twitter account of the spacecraft, the capsule separation of Hayabusa will be taking place from 2.00 pm – 3.00 pm IST on 5 December. Within 3.00 pm to 5.00 pm IST on the same day, the orbit will be changed for spacecraft departure. Finally by 3.00 am IST on 6 December, the capsule will be landing. In the Indian Standard Time, the landing is scheduled to take place at around 11.30 pm on 5 December. The capsule will make its landing on the Australian Woomera Prohibited Area (WPA).
It was on 25 November that the Japanese space agency received all the requisite permissions from the Commonwealth Return Safety Officer (CRSO) to transition Hayabusa 2 onto a re-entry trajectory.
The CMRO gave the green signal after securing that there were no issues with the "navigation, guidance, plan, spacecraft or ground systems".
The next day, the TCM-3 or the third trajectory correction manoeuvre operation was rolled out. The thruster injection for fine-tuning adjustment was performed, speed and trajectory were adjusted and confirmed.
Finally, the space agency successfully completed the manoeuvre. Reporting the condition of the spacecraft to be "normal", the tweet said that the "orbit will be decided in the future, and the re-entry time is planned to be calculated around November 30".
By studying the soil samples sent by the shoebox-sized probe, JAXA scientists aim to study the formation of organic material in the ancient time. Researchers look forward to knowing how the planets were created by studying primitive small bodies like Ryugu.

Come Fly Away at the Hobby Showcases Acrobatic Partnering But Little Charm
D. L. Groover April 11, 2012 1:30PM
Four couples hook up in a nightclub in Twyla Tharp's all-dancing jukebox musical, using 26 Frank Sinatra vocals set against a live big band for Gexa Energy Broadway's Come Fly Away. It sounds delicious. Sounds are deceiving.
This is no ordinary nightclub, but an amalgamated fantasy land of straight strip club La Bare, mixed with the infamous gay Saint in NYC, and poor outtakes from Dancing with the Stars. Tharp, one of modern dance's most successful choreographers, has worked Sinatra territory before...and better. In 1976, she made One More, Frank as a duet for herself and ballet superstar Mikhail Baryshnikov. Nine Sinatra Songs (1982) followed, for seven couples; it's considered one of her signature works and in the repertory of countless international ballet companies. Her Sinatra Suite (1983), again made for Baryshnikov, used many of the same songs as Nine, but focused on one couple as aspects of an on/off relationship. After Tharp's work on Broadway, especially the hit all-dancing Billy Joel jukebox Movin' Out (2002), which won her a Tony Award, she thought lightning would strike again with her Bob Dylan all-dancing piece The Times They Are A-Changin' (2006). Lightning struck, but it hit her instead. The show closed after 28 performances.
You'd think she'd be finished with Sinatra and all-dancing shows, but she's back!
The touring version of this dancing Cosmo ad has been reworked since its Broadway run (2010), which got decent reviews but closed after five months. After a stay in Las Vegas, which certainly is the right venue for this hyper revue, the show was shortened to its present, intermission-less 80 minutes, and thrust on tour. It's still too long. And still isn't sexy, for all its bare chests, leggy chorines and sweaty production numbers.
There's no variety to it. Except for the innocent couple (Christopher Vo and Ramona Kelley), who start with a gymnastic, elbow-in-the-rib, crotch-in-the-face comic duet to "Let's Fall in Love," the other three couples are interchangeable. We neither care for their preening, machismo or sexy posturing, nor worry that they won't end up together. The characters are given names in the program, but none of them distinguish who they are by what they're given to dance. Tharp's choreography here is flash without brilliance, fake heat without light, manic steps without movement. Everything looks the same: a lot of ballet arabesques and pirouettes thrown into a bump-and-grind routine, and a lot of gals tossed to the floor to thrash about or be mauled by their partners. It's not a pretty picture when each relationship revolves around abuse and a one-night stand. It's a meager way to show sex when the guys have to rip open their own shirts. The women are more discreet; at least they leave the stage to return with skimpier versions of their dancing togs. They even change their shoes from high-heels to softer ballet slippers. It makes no difference to the piece.
There's no ease to the dancing; it all looks like a lot of effort, calculated and counted off in the dancers' heads. They're so concerned with the acrobatic partnering or hitting their marks that they're no longer dancing with each other. I doubt if you could give Tharp's work much finesse or charm, but they're both sadly missed.
I wish the dancers well. A mixed bag, they all look good, and at least have jobs -- for now. Most have impeccable pedigrees: principal dancer from New York City Ballet Stephen Hanna, as a muscled Gene Kelly type; principal from Alvin Ailey, the slick and sinewy Anthony Burrell; Royal Ballet alumnus Matthew Stockwell Dibble, Broadway vet Ioana Alfonso; and young Vo, recent recipient of the prestigious Princess Grace Award. But what they must do in this show is nothing to put on a résumé. It's relentless brass, like the big band stationed above them. While the band blares forth spectacular sound, and some virtuosic playing from sax P.J. Perry, trumpet Mike Herriott and trombone James Nelson, it's as unvaried and lacking nuance as the choreography. Where are those swooning strings of master orchestrators Nelson Riddle, Don Costa and Johnny Mandel that added to Sinatra's swingin' glamor and scotch-filled romance?
Except for James Youmans's classy set with its swag curtain and wall of bar glasses, the entire show lacks romance and swing. It thinks it has sex, but it's only a pose. There's not an adult onstage.
To paraphrase Old Blue Eyes after his classic rendition of the Harold Arlen/Johnny Mercer standard, Here's one for my baby, one for the road and one for me for sitting through this.
Twyla Tharp's Sinatra jukebox runs through April 15 at the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts, 800 Bagby. Purchase tickets online at houstonbroadway.com or call 1-800-952-6560.

The capital of Argentina is usually associated with the name of Evita, tango or football. "The port of our Lady Saint Mary of the Fair Winds" – exactly so sounds the historical name of Buenos Aires. This is a real "city of contrasts" - next to modern skyscrapers the old Spanish quarters are preserved; and many poor neighborhoods and slums are contrasted with fashionable districts of center and suburbs.
The old part of the city resembles at the same time Paris, London and Madrid and new areas of Buenos Aires – are a modern city with multistory buildings and skyscrapers, which contain business centers and offices of large companies. An overall construction of the capital, however, retains the features of the colonial period - the main square with an access to the sea and straight configuration of the streets. The city is rich in greenery, parks and boulevards; in the central part there are a lot of different monuments and memorials.
In the main tourist area of La Boca (by the way, it was there where the Argentine tango was born) you can take a walk along the pedestrian zone Caminito, where straight in the street one can find tango dancers training, relax on the Plaza San Martin, and philosophize at the Recoleta cemetery.
The main places of interest in Buenos Aires are: the Plaza de Mayo, the Cathedral Metropolitana (there is the tomb of Jose Francisco de San Martin, the country's national hero of the times of the struggle for independence), the Museum of Natural Science, the Museum of Fine Arts, the International Art Gallery, the Museum "Fernandez Blanco" (the Museum of Colonial Art), the National Museum of Art, the Museum of Cinema, the National History Museum, the famous Teatro "Colon" - the center of opera and ballet throughout South America, Avenida 9 de Julio (the world's largest shopping district).
One of the most famous tango shows - El Viejo Almacen is a combination of live music, professional dance, violin and bandoneon (accordion), and also ethnic music.

An article from the book 'Thank You Guruji' by Manoj J Lekhi.
The next day was our AMC course for 4 days and we were to take Guruji by our van to Dehri Ashram. We started late in the evening, driving around trying to locate the Dehri Ashram as at that time we did not know the way to it.
We were travelling in the middle of the night searching for the way to Dehri Ashram. We lost our way and a distance which would normally take three and half hours by car took us almost six and half hours to reach. We missed some turns, some sign boards and I was extremely tensed wondering where we were and when were we likely to reach? All this while Guruji was simply laughing and laughing, enjoying every moment in spite of whatever was happening, just enjoying the process.
That was the time I remember he was sitting near me in the front seat, and he just told me, 'You come for the May teachers training course, okay?' It was sometime in February when this happened.
I then casually asked 'Sure Guruji, how many days course will it be?' I had estimated it to be probably a 4 to 7 days course because that is what I was used to while going for AMC's.
To my surprise he said it's a 30 day course. I got a little shocked! I was actively involved in Business How do I take 30 days off? I then had a choice to make. All my life I had a dreamt of going abroad and it was decided between my elder brother, Sunil and me that one day I would go abroad when we could afford it.
I had planned that sometime during the year or maybe the next, to go on this much dreamt of holiday abroad. In my mind I wondered whether I should fulfill this entire life's dream of going abroad or should I go for the teacher's training course (TTC). I thank God to give me the wisdom to choose TTC over my life's dream and probably, it was the best decision of my life.
Yes I did not have the luxury of seeing a foreign country in my TTC but I had the privilege of seeing my inner country, my inner country that was foreign to me, my inner self !
Anyone can BE, DO, or HAVE anything & everything, if they really wish to. As long as somebody can see potential in them, not their limitations.
Thank you Guruji for giving me this opportunity to share this profound knowledge received from you. All this simply because you chose to focus on my potential & not my history which was full of limitations.
In my life, this has helped me heartily rely on all who are passionate about working with me whether they know the skill-sets or not they have always developed the skill-sets later owing to their commitment & my trust.


A Birmingham City University team, led by Dr. Elizabeth Yardley and Professor David Wilson from the Centre of Applied Criminology published the results of their investigations into 48 cases of 'Facebook murder', in the Howard Journal of Criminal Justice.
The Informer warns others on Facebook that he or she intends to kill the victim or has already killed the victim – a public demonstration of 'control' over them. Will Cornick, 16, who was sentenced to at least 20 years Monday for stabbing his Spanish teacher is an 'informer', which accounts for 22.9 percent of analyzed Facebook murders.
"He fits that pattern of people who will let everybody know what it is they intend to do," Wilson said of the teenager who for more than four months had told Facebook friends of his wish to murder 61-year-old Ann Maguire.
"Hostile exchanges on Facebook that escalate into face-to-face fatal violence" are the breeding ground for the Antagonist (16.7 percent). Fear of a potential encounter with their adversaries leads some to arm themselves. In 2010, a 15-year-old boy who fatally stabbed a former friend, Salum Kombo, over insults traded on Facebook, was jailed for at least 14 years.
When 'the line between fantasy and reality becomes blurred' the fantasist emerges. Some 12.5 percent of Facebook murders fit this profile. Mark Twitchell is an iconic fantasist. The 35-year-old Canadian was convicted in 2011 for killing John Brian Altinger. In his defense the murderer said that he was inspired by the Dexter Morgan character in the Dexter television series.
A Facebook Predator uses a fake profile to lure a victim into a trap. In 2010, Peter Chapman, known as the 'Facebook killer' received a 35-year prison sentence for the murder of a 17-year-old Ashleigh Hall, whom he lured to her death.
Imposter murders, "posts in the name of someone else" to create the illusion that the victim is still alive or pretends to be another person to "gain access to and monitor the victim's profile." In 2010 Andrew Lindo killed his partner Marie Stewart before sending messages from Facebook claiming she had left for the Canary Islands.
UK police have not commented on the killer categories.
Facebook said Tuesday the US government has increased requests for user info access by 24 percent in the first half of 2014 over 2H13, claiming to have received over34,946 requests for data.
"We're aggressively pursuing an appeal to a higher court to invalidate these sweeping warrants and to force the government to return the data it has seized," the company said in a company blog post on Tuesday.
