It is one of the largest bankruptcies ever recorded, devastating their employees, shareholders and community. MCI sets the record for the largest fraud in U. S. History, $11 Billion dollars, sending the CEO to jail. Tyco gets first prize for the biggest, most lavish birthday party paid for with company money. A distinguished panel of experts will help you understand the ethics of business. Guests are Chuck La Bella, attorney at law, and April Riel, a CPA and, certified fraud examiner.
