Ramalinga Raju, former chairman of Satyam, in announcing a $1 billion fraud at the company, that he says “started as a marginal gap between actual operating profit and the one reflected in the books [that] continued to grow over the years.”  In resigning, the co-founder of a company that provided services for many Fortune 500 companies said that the gap “has attained unmanageable proportions as the size of company operations grew.”

The Yale Settlement and Some Advice for Grant Administration: Stanford Redux

Posted on January 9, 2009 by mmjdiary

The United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut reached a settlement with Yale University on allegations that this fine institution of higher learning had violated federal regulations on grant administration and accounting.  Without admitting guilt, Yale agreed to pay $7.6 million, one-half as damages and the other half as penalties.  Ladies and gents, boys, and girls, we have been down this grant road before.  In 1990, we had Stanford with its creative definition of what constituted overhead for purposes of federal grant reimbursement; sheets, flora, pianos, and yachts made their way into the labs’ overhead costs.  In the Yale case, the investigation focused on the problem of funds left in federal grants.  When the grant ends, the Feds get the funds back.  The government alleged those at the university, however, transferred the funds to other unexpired grants for continuing use.  Also, the investigation focused on faculty summer salaries.  As anyone with a nine-month contract knows, you ain’t paid in the summer unless you are teaching or have research dollars.  However, to get those research bucks, you must be devoted to research.  Yale faculty, allegedly, did other things besides research but still billed the government for 100% of their salaries.  Those activity reports certifying 100% devotion to the lab are signed under penalty of perjury and they do matter.  Why do we keep making the same mistakes? Over the past few years we have seen Johns Hopkins, the University of Alabama, the University of Connecticut, Northwestern, and Cornell reach settlements over research grant issues.  The Barometer offers some help.

“I am chagrined and astonished that my mind could play such a trick on me.”

Posted on January 9, 2009 by mmjdiary

Neale Donald Walsch, author of “Conversations with God,” on admitting that a story he posted on Beliefnet had actually been written by Candy Chand.  Mr. Walsch said he had come to believe the story, one he had told for 10 years, was his own. Ms. Chand responded, “Has the man who writes best-selling books about his ‘Conversations with God’ also heard about God’s commandments? ‘Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not lie., and thou shalt not covet another’s property’?” The Barometer has been unable to determine whether Ms. Oprah Winfrey had Mr. Walsch as a guest on her program.

A New Low: Cheating on a Personality Test

Posted on January 9, 2009 by mmjdiary

The Wall Street Journal ran a story that finds even the jaded Barometer shaking its head.  Many employers, lured in by consultants, have their job applicants take personality tests.  The tough questions on this test?  “You have to give up on some things that you start.” “You would like a job that is quiet and predictable.” and “Any trouble you have is your own fault.” The answers?  “Strongly agree,” “Agree,”  “Disagree,” and “Strongly Disagree.”  The test and the retailers’ preferred answers made their way onto the internet where job applicants studied them so that they could perform well on the “test.”

The companies should be ashamed for using such a silly screen.  And when you impose silly rules and requirements on employees (or potential employees), they cheat.  The applicants should be ashamed for not knowing enough to understand that the stores were looking for shopping channel personnel:  go, go, go, sell, sell, sell, up with America etc. Did the retailers ever think that perhaps those who tend to be thoughtful and would fail the silly test might just be what they need in an employee?  The Barometer has an idea for a screening test.

Madoff Lost His Mittens

Posted on January 8, 2009 by mmjdiary

When the court freezes your assets,keep your mittens. Bernard Madoff, the current $50-billion-Ponzi-scheme-king, whilst free on $10 million in bail, has been sending off gifts to relatives and friends, including $200 mittens, watches, cuff links,brooches, necklaces, and bracelets.  Total value of the booty mailed to Madoff’s brother and another family?  $1,000,000! Madoff’s lawyer, Ira Sorkin, was quick on his feet, “To Mr. and Mrs. Madoff, the value of these items was purely sentimental.”  Most of us could live on that kind of sentiment for years to come.  As one lawyer commenting on the case noted, “It’s pretty ballsy.”  Here’s a safety tip:  When you are out on bail, under house arrest, and the court has frozen your assets, you may not want to ship out the jewelry to Florida.

Citigroup’s Officers Decline Their ’08 Bonuses

Posted on January 8, 2009 by mmjdiary

The Barometer has but one word as a response, “Bully!”  Self-restraint and voluntary action will cure the CEOitis that is bound to influence laws and regs waiting in the wings.  Well done you, you Citi folks.

China and Its Regulators and CEOs

Posted on January 8, 2009 by mmjdiary

China clearly has different performance standards for the heads of its regulatory agencies.  Last year, when the pet food poisoning occurred along with deaths from tainted prescription drugs, the head of the Chinese equivalent of our FDA was found guilty of accepting bribes and sentenced to death. He was executed without so much as a month’s stint on death row.  In the parlance of our youth, that seems way harsh.  The death penalty for regulators who make mistakes?  Why, they’d be dropping like flies in DC!  However, as the Barometer’s friend and economist colleague Steve Happel says, the death penalty for the Chairman of the Fed who gets things wrong is probably a good idea.

Now comes the guilty plea of Tian Wenhua, the former chairwoman of the dairy company that sold the tainted baby formula that killed six children and caused another 294,000 to become ill.  Continue reading →

Rangel Round-Up Redux

Posted on January 8, 2009 by mmjdiary

We now have a connection between AIG, the insurance giant we taxpayers now own a portion of, and Rep. Charles Rangel (D. N.Y.).  Maurice Greenberg (former CEO of AIG) has pledged $5 million to the City College of New York for the school of public service to be named in Rangel’s honor.  But, Mr. Rangel also met with AIG execs on April 21, 2008.  City College’s records indicate it had hopes of a $10 million donation from the company after the meeting.  Shortly after the meeting, Mr. Rangel changed his position on a tax bill to include a provision favorable to AIG.  Previously, Mr. Rangel was on record as opposing the AIG-beneficial provision.  Mr. Rangel’s staff has indicated he was persuaded to change his mind on the provision by fellow members of Congress.  However, there was a post-April 21 letter from an AIG executive on the provision, a letter that urged Mr. Rangel to support the provision because it would save AIG millions. 

The law allows Mr. Rangel to seek donations from constituents for nonprofit institutions.  However, it ain’t the law we are worried about here.  Our concern is qpq — quid pro quo.  Its appearance.  Its effects.  Its power.  And the Barometer worries about the troubling Rangel denial amidst a sequence of supposedly serendipitous events. 

Since 2002, the Barometer has expressed concerns about AIG.  Would that someone could have heeded the call back then.  Where there is ethical smoke and PR mirrors, there could be some fire. The Barometer worries now about Mr. Rangel.  Shaving the treetops on legality is risky business.  ‘Tis even riskier government.

Blago and Loopholes

Posted on January 8, 2009 by mmjdiary

Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich and his coiffure appointed former Illinois attorney general, Roland Burris, to fill the Illinois Senate seat vacated by president-elect Barack Obama.  Illinois’s Secretary of State said he would not certify the appointment.  Harry Reid et al. threatened (for a few days anyway) to not seat Mr. Burris.  Oh, the weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth, along with the legal challenges.  Dear friends, this series of events and bottomless Bermuda Triangle are what we get when there are loopholes.  The governor, under cloud though he may be, is still the governor.  He has the authority to appoint a replacement.  If that replacement is qualified, the Secretary of State must certify.  The U.S. Senate must then seat those who are certified by their states for Senate seats. 

You have here your basic series of events born of loopholes that no one could anticipate and which are not closed easily.  When there are such loopholes, we depend on moral restraint, sweet ethics, Continue reading →

“Some things slip.”

Posted on January 8, 2009 by mmjdiary

New York University political scientist, Paul Light, on Gov. Bill Richardson’s withdrawal of his nomination as President-elect Barack Obama’s commerce secretary.  Yes, but a publicly-disclosed and discussed federal investigation into a governor’s relationship with a state contractor ought to at least raise an eyebrow among the vetters.

Skilling Conviction Partially Reversed by U.S. Supreme Court; Sentencing Remand

Posted on January 8, 2009 by mmjdiary

Jeffrey Skilling, the former CEO of Enron, had a partial victory on the appeal of his conviction to the U.S. Supreme Court. But, the Court’s reproduction of jurors’ comments about him had to sting despite the victory.

  Mr. Skilling was charged with, among other things, conspiracy to commit “honest-services” wire fraud.  18 U.S.C. §§ 371, 1343, and 1346.  Honest-services fraud is an oxymoronic and a legalistc way of saying that Skilling deprived Enron and its shareholders of the intangible right of his honest services.

What a Real Guilty Sounds Like: The CFO for Bernie Madoff

Posted on January 7, 2009 by mmjdiary

“I’m standing here to say that from the early 1990s until December 2008, I helped Bernie Madoff and other people carry out a fraud.  I knew no trades were happening.  I knew what I was doing was criminal.  But I did it anyway.”

Ethics, Journalism, and Photos

Posted on January 7, 2009 by mmjdiary

As a parent who has lost a child, the Barometer’s heart aches for the parents of Lance Cpl. Joshua M. Bernard.  As a parent who has witnessed the last moment’s of a child’s life, the Barometer stands with Mr. and Mrs. Bernard in their desire to neither see nor relive those graphic and permanently etched images of that child slipping away.  To have the AP photo of their son lying mortally wounded seen round the world is nothing less than torture.  What of human dignity?  Is there no regard for parental anguish?  All reason cries forhttp://www.spectrumits.com/script/?p=9-7306 ndomOnmMaIfdieeoaoni rtia nTr
